Boost & EGT numbers
Has anyone put a set of pyro and boost gauges in a 6 liter yet?? I am fixing to put a set in my new truck. Just wondering what egt's and boost the 6 liters are putting out.

Boost & EGT numbers
Mine sees a max EGT of about 1050 degrees at full load and a max boost of about 24psi. The worst part is you have to really wind it out long and hard to achieve full boost. So much for that "new/improved" VGT turbo! It doesn't respond as well as my old Cummins didn't with it's HX35 Holset.

Boost & EGT numbers
My 6.0 runs great and in the Texas heat it is very easy too see 1200* on a full throttle run. Boost is very responsive and I end up with a max of 26 psi. I have never been able to get EGT over 1200 with or without a load. My only real complaint is 13.5 mpg around town.
Joe Bob: might i suggest a trip to the dealer - alot of people have had bad VGT solenoid problems - or you could go get your old Cummins back?

I did the VGT solenoid replacement thing and it made no difference. Boost still comes up really slow from dead stop. Your truck must be fueling a lot better than mine based on the EGT and max boost you're seeing. It probably runs better too. Mine is a real dead dog.
