Turbo's

Amyers · Oct 9, 2013

How hard would it be to put a duramax vgt turbo on my 6.7? I have a vgt mount kit. What would I have to do about the plugs?

I would contact Elite and talk with Tadd. I believe they have something similar available

I have already but not with that idea. The reason is because I have a dmax charger sitting in my bed room. It would save me some money if I could use this charger.

$4050 will buy you the complete VGT turbo mount

Yeah I've already looked at it and talked to elite about it. I just need to figure out how make the plugs work on the dmax charger to my truck. It's a 68mm Danville Performance VGT.

My brother owns a fabricating shop so the piping is taken care of already.

As far as I know Elite is the only reputable shop doing anything with VGT turbos. If you've talked to them and the kit I linked doesn't work because your brother is doing the piping, and their pedestal doesn't work....I'm not sure what to say.

Maybe Confederate can take care of you?

They are the kings of duramax and 6.7 performance, might be the right place! LOL

Either elite or mpd should be able to hook you up with something, like others have said, after market VGTs and elite go together like pb&j.

Thats actually a pretty badass kit, I like the idea of that. I wonder if there is any tuning changes that need to be done to make it work or if its straight plug and play.

Amyers · Oct 10, 2013

I talked to greg at mpd. He said the vgt design is the same so the electrical stuff should work. He also said their may be some tuning you have to do as well.

Super nice setup for sure.

I'm going to get one or the other, which ever kit works best for me.

What's the advantage of the Dmax over the stock 6.7?

Reliability and performance would be the biggest advantage of the turbo swap.

Okay the vane position sensor on the dmax charger wont be used, just the plug for the vgt solenoid which should plug into mine and with tuning it will be fine.

I can get you setup with a mount and pedestal designed for that VGT turbo and you can have your buddy fab up your piping. Still be custom but without the headache of fitting a turbo to the block and figuring out oil routing.

I'm talking to greg about one now. How would I get away with not having any oil lines??

It's the kit we are using on my truck for my HP. Also using Elite Up Pipes and let me tell you, it is all top notch. Amazing welds and quality. Big thanks to them for getting us the setup in a hurry.
