D66 turbo....
I had a quick question for you all... I was wondering what exactly the upgraded parts are on a D66 turbo from Beans....
To me it simply looks like a different wheel and housing and that is about it. Are there modifications done to the exhaust side as well? It still utilizes the same innards as the stock turbo (bearings/shaft/seals/ and what not?)
I was wondering what exactly the big difference is. If it is simple as replacing the housing and wheel to make it a D66 I might go ahead and do it with the stage 1.5's this fall. If there is more too it I might just leave the turbo alone... I just rebuilt it, but 30% more airflow is not a bad option. I however do not want to buy the entire turbo... If I can do it by just the housing and impeller then heck yeah I'm in.
Can I order the parts and do it myself or is this a "you need to send us your turbo" deal where I am charged to have them do what I am more than capabable of doing myself. I have never ordered anything from them but from what I have heard around the net they are a very reputable and knowledgable company.
Thanks all

The only things upgrade is the wheel, housing, custom backing plate and a 360* shaft oiling
It still uses the stock exhaust side
Check with majestic turbo they can build your to a 66mm for about half of what a d66 cost. Im not sure if they'll sell you the parts

Well this is good info to know. So from the sounds of it I'm not going to be able to purchase the parts I need to do it myself... I'm sure as heel not dropping 1200+ on a turbo when I just rebuilt mine. Nothing wrong with it I was just wondering if there were any upgrade I could bolt on for it to increase CFM... I am fine with how it spools as is.
Talyn... how is a van turbo better than the D66? I have heard the exact opposite but would def like to hear why you think so. If I were to find a van turbo can I rob parts off of it and put them towards my rebuilt turbo?
Essentially what parts are on a van turbo that make it better than our stock, and better than the D66. I guess I never really understood the concept of putting abetter turbo in a van vs a truck... vans haul people trucks haul heavy...

If you can do a little fab work you can do a s366 setup from Irate Diesel for the same price as a d66

What does a little fab work mean.... If I am replacing mounts/uppipes/ and so on forget it. I just bought a deleted pedestal and rebuilt the turbo, I was hoping there were a few bolt on upgrades that would increase flow but if not I'm not going to be picking up a new turbo... I will run 1.5 sticks on it till I need a new one. I think with an IC and water/meth injection my EGTs will remain in a safe zone. Strictly doing this for towing...not looking for a crazy HP numbers but I would like a bit more when towing.
To be quite honest I'd like to be in the neighborhood of what production trucks can push today.. high 300's on HP and double that in TQ... if its not too much to ask. But if its going to destroy the motor quickly then I'll rethink my process
Thanks for the input yall.

A little fab work is to mod the hot side IC pipe and build a intake spyder. If you don't have a IC then just build the spyder.
The irate kit come with bellowed uppipes with T4 mount, oil feed and return lines, pedestal for $550 and the s366 is $ 750
If you don't have efuel you'll have to make your own oil return

Agree cant do a full turbo setup...
Did you do your 140 V IDM yourself? I hate electronics and will probably end up ruining the unit if I tried... Know anyone that I can send it to that can do the job clean?
