As for the fruit phone, I can recommend some great android replacements if you like, but you do what you feel is right for your use.
It appears DPS now has a Heavy Duty actuator for the Turbonator. I have an email to them to ask what problem it solves.

I did hear him mention "compound" turbo in the video, so perhaps the HD actuator is designed for "big" boost numbers.

Your welcome Chris, I hope it works out well for you for many years to come.

I hope their response is as detailed and informative as we are all hoping it will be. I see the video has only been online since the 12th of January. I looked through the DPP website and saw no mention of the HD actuator and performed a search with no good results displayed.

Clockwise from top right:
- Duct for auxiliary alternator cooling. It is retracted here for the intercooler install. It normally snakes its way up to the front header panel and conmects to a fan in one of the Zoodad holes.
- Quickstart’s external rectifier that they’ve branded the Quicktifier. This will be removed along with the Quickstart alternator shortly.
- Thermostat for the electric AC condensoer fans.
- Air pump for el cheapo electric airhorns I won in a raffle.

This is straight up TIME TRAVEL my friends. I won't give out to much info, but just so you know, I designed the Flux Capacitor Filtration system.

So I found the video where I first caught sight of the new HD actuator. Fast forward to 3:08 in this video.

Lol. Good explanation Carlos. The FCFS is right up there with blinker fluid. Incidentally, the 40/5 capacitor is exactly what my old household AC unit used to use. I revived it at least 4 times by replacing that capacitor before the compressor itself died.

. I just realized I misspelt (system) in my explanation. Boy, I really like your vgt. I'd love to put one on my truck. I'm sure It would probably cut way back, if not do away with the smoke I've got now. I hope that maybe they'll eventually make one for my sxe 472, but if not I could always put a 467/468 in it's place and bolt one on. We'll see how it all plays out.

Looks good Leonard. I'm curious of the notable differences between the new IC and the old 6.0L when similar conditions are observed.
I know the EGT drop in an OEM 7.3L system can be up to 200° when installing a large and well made IC like the Hypermax, but with your now removed 6.0L IC and the Turbonator mated to the SXE compressor, it will be interesting to see the results.

Engineers and their fancy words...
Seriously though, I am hopeful for your efforts in squeezing that last bit of performance out of that engine of yours. You have gone through great lengths and you are the poster boy for PMS in my opinion. Hold that medal up high and proud sir!
