Message: [QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 56890, member: 25"] I remember reading about it. It showed up at a dyno event and laid some decent power numbers for what it was - but that doesn't make it a setup that I would recommend to anyone - or even rave about. Its pretty easy for a common DIY guy to rave about something they have done and make it sound better than what it really is - I would love to take the truck for a spin, hook it to a trailer, etc... and see what its really doing because I have strong reservations about a stock unwastegated turbo as a high pressure turbo in a set of compounds on a 7.3 PSD - they just have too much history of failure on every other truck that I have known to do a similar setup. Hell I think Bean went through 3 or 4 turbos before he gave up on compounds using a stocker IIRC - and thats just one of the more well known setups I know of attempting to use a stock turbo. At the end of the day - yes sir I could build a kit for a GT42 atmosphere compound kit using a stock turbo and very minimal parts and get it down under the 4K figure - and people would buy it because its compounds under 4K - but the moment I did - someone wouldn't be happy with the 400 or so ponies it laid down and go for say 550 and start to show all the flaws in the setup and the kit - and it would be all my fault at what a POS kit I developed and marketed. I just can't do that - if its not quality and tunable to fit the needs of the many - then its a waste of my time. [/QUOTE]
