If I'm the one getting the turbo then yes it does LOL
Yeah if you put a big turbo on it will build enough boost to blow the head clean off the truck!LOL
In seriousness luckily we have not yet seen a 6.7 that lifted a head. The 6 bolt duramax design ford used on this engine is holding up great.

Duramax design? Just because there's 6 per cylinder or is there more to it?
Back in 2006 gm had designed a 4.5 liter dmax to go in the 1500 trucks.
The heads were exhaust to valley and intake on the outer side.
The block was graphite composite.
The engine was built but never installed i saw a few at the factory.
The main reason they deleted them was due to the engine needing to be located 2" further forward for downpipe clearance, they wanted to use all the same mounting points. iirc.
So that was more what I was referring to.
The 6 bolt head is very robust, the downside is that on half of the intake ports the bolt hole provides a restriction in the flow with a thin wall to the coolant jacket that would be risky to port.

You're so smart. Average joe with some tools doesn't need to know how to do head gaskets to install a turbo kit on a 6.7 Powerstroke. Driveway/garage friendly mod.
6 bolt is exclusive to the dmax eh? LOL I'll give you a hint where it probably came from for Team Ford engineers..... Circa 1994, international motor. Featured in numerous cab/chassis configurations over a 9 year period. withstanding the test of an entire vehicle design overhaul, with record low(by comparison) warranty claim filings. Holla when you figure it out. Use google if you have to
.
I don't know steve these kits take some know how to go on. Its not just like an apex intake.
I am pretty sure ford had the isuzu guys that gm threw out on the street giving them some help on the 6.7.
Just my opinion though.
A dt466 would not count steve its an inline 6.
But the dt466 is a great engine in its own accord.
And now everyone is putting a cummins turbo on these things, like we started last year.
We use Duramax cp3 pump on our dual fueler kit as well.
Not much Ford power adders left Steve.

1. a borg warner s frame turbo is not a cummins turbo. its a BW turbo that a couple cummins have used as well as the 6.4. you and everyone else is using an s3 because it bolts on.
2. actually swapping a manifold is somewhere in the same difficulty range as a turbo swap due to the reverse flow.
3. 6 bolts per cylinder is not a gm thing in the least. its ford learning from IH using 4 bolts per cylinder, realizing that increasing clamping force from bigger bolts was less effective than redistributing the load across 6 bolts.
here is what i get from you, you seem to be a know it all to some extent, but at no point have you realized when you came here, you're swimming with the sharks. this site is based upon the most aggressive power-making enthusiasts in the powerstroke world, that is a fact. this is not .org . this site treats you, how you treat it. many of the people commenting to you have made 1000 horse before you were ever in business. like ive told you so many times, as nicely as possible, read more , talk less, earn your spot and you're good. i really dont see any ill-will in your posting, but unfortunately you say things about stuff you dont fully understand ,to the people who really do. maybe if i put my lifes diesel achievements in my signature that would help, but i dont.

Or I was just trying to get a few Ford guys goats!!
I have been in business for a long time, I am new to the forum.
On a side note:
What would you say the difficulty level in putting an aftermarket/upgraded turbo on a truck and engine you have never opened the hood on before, that comes to you in pieces (ie factory turbo off), and having it done in 2 weeks running and driving great with NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!!!

if it looks like the last build you guys did the light should say, " REMOVE BUILDER IMMEDIATELY" .
See what I mean, rather than answer a reasonable question this is what I get.
It just kills you guys we did it first and you guys told us we didn't know what we were doing/using the wrong turbo/going to blow up the engine. And now all kits except Elite are using the exact same turbo's.
Eventually you guys will have to admit we knew what we were doing there is no way around it.
It all in good fun though, I am not here to rep a company, just talk about scorpion performance.

Duramax cp3? I'm a fawkin newb but you're a fawkin tard! Ford designed their own engine in their own truck with their own kickasss trans, so go jerkoff sideways to some isuzu porn and kiss my american asss.

OK that was well deserved being this is a ford forum.
I was talking about on a dual fueler in regards to the cp3. The SPE kit is the only one that is 100% blue oval.
I was just picking on you guys anyway.
The 6r140 is an awesome trans and the 6.7 engine has a great crank and head design.
They are great trucks, and made in usa!! I was just picking a little

try picking on people dumber than you, you wont have to apologize as much.
about your ninja edit- please explain to us where the 6.7 is built.
oh and h&s had an s-frame turbo on WAY before you , so you cant say anything in regards to it not being able to be done or you were the first.
stop editing every post you make !!!

The same truck that the charger ended up blowing on, and killing a piston? "Running great"...
The problem with confederate is that they/you think your gods because you put a borg warner s300 charger under the hood of a 6.7 and suddenly your the top of the food chain. From what I've seen, your piping looks horrible, the charger you chose on the first single cfd 6.7 was junk, and you guys have no professionalism. You still try to rep yourselves on this site without being vendors, and wonder why so many people knock you.

Not to derail and go back to OP post but I thought we were gonna get a review of the "#1 selling 6.7 turbo kit"? Based on the claims of it being ready to ship the next day and it being 20 days later, I'm a little disappointed that there are no rave reviews.
Good Point.
The OP had few special request.
He did not want the header ports blended and he wanted heavier welds on all the headers and uppipe joints that were not ground flush like we normally do.
I think there were a few other things he wanted changed but i am sure he will post about them.
He is a real big help and has a unique perspective on things. He has been great with feedback so far.
We sent the new headers and uppipes out last week but they were not there as of yet.
I am going to let the OP give his review, I don't want to interfere.
No I do not, I asked a general question with no mention of my company.
I do not mention my company in any post, and in my last post I just gave general info about the situation.
All that "gods" stuff really got you boys fired up heh?
SOmetimes you have to take stuff with a grain of salt.
