How does the stock 15 compare to the 66mm on your 11'?

I've heard so much about how it won't do burnouts and how laggy it is. Have they changed the turbo design at all? Anything different under the hood?

umm... yeah thats why thes threads exist is because its the first real "update" to the 6.7 since it was released 4 years ago...

That's why I'm asking have they updated the turbo design? is anything else different? Interior, feel, suspension, quality? Anything.

Spool is nearly the same as a 66 non vgt and they carry about the same boost psi at cruising speeds. Honestly is is a little letdown from all the hype.

But with that being said with deletes and tunes it will probably spool a little faster than it does now and make more power than a 11-14 truck.

Yes they have the different turbo more rated power all the stuff that has been said. They just have some much restriction from the emissions that they are a big turd. An 11-14 will smoke the tires and lights instantly with the dual compressor wheel design. The 11-14 are awesome really, just lack the total top end power and reliability.

wonder how much better it tows real heavy loads

I will know soon. I'm guessing not any better judging by how it runs unloaded and downshifts all the time. Will definitely have to lock out 6th all the time.

Maybe the weight of what's being towed will help keep the charger lit and keep the engine up where it makes power? Idk lol.

Most likely so. Good point

Well load it up already and let's see what happens LOL I'm now reconsidering a 14 since I don't ever modify them to speak of.

How the hell did Ford let this happen? Were they sitting in a meeting when somebody asked 'what feature from the 6.0 do our clients miss the most?' and then somebody answered 'well, people mentioned a lot that it didn't do anything until you were above 2000 rim.... I think they'd like that again.'

So with the turbo spooling later, there should be less possibility of snapped rods on hot tunes with the stock turbo, right? That's not even considering the stronger rods.

In theory, sure.

Breaking Habits · May 7, 2014

So.. has anyone even confirmed the stronger rod theory.

Until someone compares apples to apples, do NOT assume.

The update bulletin was updated piston assemblies, all the parts are not superceeded, but we don't know what the new/old difference is

I just don't want an assumption of something we haven't, to my knowledge, proved yet

Jeff@Spartan · May 7, 2014

I know someone who ordered a 2015 long block. One of the first things getting inspected is the rods, and they'll be compared to the 11-14 rods.

drunk on diesel · May 7, 2014

I have a funny feeling the rods aren't going to be any different

jimdawg185 · May 7, 2014

I had customers complain a lot about the throttle sensitivity and too much gogo to fast. I always gave them a " are you retarded " look. But there are those out there that like the slower spool.... for whatever reason.
