old hypermax needs help
So my hypermax on my new to me 86 6.9 was leaking a good bit of oil. I bought the rebuild kit from hypermax, they told me it would be a pulse turbo.
Well I'm into the rebuild now, the whole thing is apart, then I got to lookin at the kit, and there is a few O-rings in there, three to be exact.... yet there are no rubber O-rings inside this turbo? Is this part of that carbon --> dynamic seal thing people keep mentioning. I was hoping to have the truck up by monday but since every shop will be closed and every mechanic I know is out of town, I turn to y'all for help!!
Thank you!

Thats what sucks about doing it yourself.... Sometimes it takes a bit more time than planned... I dont trust a word Hmax says about their ****, your best bet is to figure out which turbo you actually have, and source a rebuild kit based on that info.

Everyone kept telling me hypermax had the best customer support, but oh well.
I did search online for the numbers on the data plate and it did come back saying I had a hypermax pulse, but there was only one thread on it with not much info.
I'll get pictures up when it's light out

I've posted pics of both system, you can tell which one you have by comparison:

There are the three Orings in the pulse rebuild kit, the bearimgs and all look exactly the same. Is there anything that the convential has different except the Orings?

What model turbo do you have? that would help greatly as far as finding a parts breakdown and finding the info you need.
