My 06 f250 has a turbo with sticky vanes I want to upgrade it. I was thinking powermax, but wanted other opinions. I will have studs, egr delete before summer and in the future will be going with 190cc injectors. I have an SCT tuner that I'm using now with a mild street tune for towing. I tend to push this truck in terms of towing, maxing out the GCWR and then some ( on occasion). What turbo will suite my needs? Will the powermax be a good choice?

 

If it is just sticking vanes I would just take it apart and clean it and pocket the 1500 bucks for a rainy day

 

If your planning on towing at GCWR, and running 190 injectors, you better start saving for compounds. 190's and a Powermax is gonna run too high EGT and be smokey.

You need to set realistic goals if you plan on towing max GCWR. Keep your injectors and turbo stock. There are limitations when towing heavy with bigger injectors and turbo, plan on supporting mods like built Trans, and fuel system.

 

Would the powermax be worth it if I kept the stock injectors for now? I'm looking at keeping stock like drivability for now. Then later down the road I'm going to retire this truck for my pulling toy/weekend cruiser.

 

Let me say this. I'm looking for a good reliable combination that will keep the EGTs down on looking grades without slowing the truck to a screaming rpm to keep 40 mph. I figured a bigger turbo would need more fuel and didn't think the stock injectors would be big enough to keep up with it. What cc are stock injectors?

 

Whats wrong with your truck???? Clean your turbo and open up your exhaust (with egr delete) if your worried about EGTs.

 

190cc injectors!!!! haha your lookin at adding like 150hp??? This trucks meant to tow anything you want... with less than 100cc injectors

 

The heads are leaking from over boost and I have a clogged oil cooler. I didn't know what size stock was and that's the size injector that was recommended to me by a shop. Hell I don't know any better. Kind of a green horn to these power strokes

 

190cc inj. Upgraded powermax.. Banks techni cooler.. Air dogg2.. Reg return..live wire x2..exhaust..egr delete. Studs. ......your good

 

Ohh yea. Suncoast tranny with a stallion TC.... Or a BTS tranny....

 

If im not mistaken i think there 90cc... Stock inj i mean

 

Yes the powermax is good for stock inj. You will feel it pull a lil harder. Let me ask u this. Are u keepin the truk? Is the truk nice? Worth dumpin money into? If so,go all out man. Build it to last.

 

O dang didnt know that. Clogged oil cooler.. any smoke out exhaust? Sounds like blown egr cooler also. Studs new HGs Egr Oil cooler. The whole shabang. I honestly wouldnt upgrade turbos, i like 26psi boost. Upgraded HGs you could upgrade turbo I think youd need to upgrade fuel supply not just injectors but like fuel pumps and stuff

 

Upgraded hg's???? You mean black onyx??? The oem ford hg's are multi layered steel like the black onyx. Theres just a coating on the black onyx. Oem are great. Just make sure your heads are decked

 

O no i wouldnt use anything but oem. I meant upgrade/replace/put new ones in whatever. whatever hg he puts in, thats the time to put studs in
