Is there any tricks i can do to my turbo or wastegate to get more boost out of my 05' F250? I would also like it to be alittle louder. a while ago i saw a different impeller that increases the wistle of the turbo, but now i cant find it ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hummm.....well let me say Welcome to FTE
Do some much needed reading and enjoy your stay. http://dan.prxy.org/Truck/6L_bible_html/html/TOC.html

Your 6.0L does not have a wastegate. Now if one wants, a new exhaust from the Turbo back increases the out side sound of the turbo while lowering exhaust temps. My truck (2003) with programming sounds like an F-16 spooling up for take off.

Hi jkovatch4,

Welcome to the 6.0 forum and to FTE. Please take a moment to check out the Welcome sticky post at the top of the forum page as well as the other stickies there. Lots of links to great threads and other information. The search feature works great too

And for your viewing pleasure, check out the link to the Posting and You public service announcement:

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting.php

A tuner like the Superchips Microtuner (SCMT) or Diablo Predator - see stickies for both products at the top of the forum page - will increase boost and power output considerably. The Predator for the '05 model is out now and the SCMT can be expected to follow soon.
