I am surprised more people aren't running this turbo on a 6.0

I have one for my 6.0, but it's just sitting in a pile of parts.

very anxious to hear how the 64.5 fmw with 70 wheel and .91 housing works for you. Because I'm very tempted to step back into the non vgt scene again with this turbo. It sounds so much better than the t3 64/71/70 non vgt I use to run.

Why do you want to go back to non VGT? ^

I love the way a non vgt pulls

There's absolutely nothing wrong with what I'm running now. Truck runs strong. But from what I could remember...the 64mm non vgt I ran before....pulled a bit harder on the top end than this 68mm vgt. Plus the 64mm non vgt had all around cooler egts. And I think I might use it in a compound setup, but run it as a single first. That's next years plan. Just really looking forward to hearing results on this turbo for now.

Plus....I ran a t3 64mm non vgt from 2009-2012. Non vgt options and setups have changed since then. From what it sounds like....the t4 setups are way better than what the t3 setups are. I'd really like to experience how a t4 is compared to a t3. Nothing has changed on my truck since the last 64mm non vgt I ran. So it'd be a good comparison

I gotcha, I'm very happy with my 66/74/.91 borg and the t4 divided pipes I built. Spool is good should be better with a trans a convertor. Plus it pulls like a freight train on top end.

Was size injectors you running?

ford rules · Jun 7, 2014

230/100 7 hole nozzles from MPD. There big but the price was right and it gives me room to go to a 367.7 or a 371 in the future if i wanted to. Im not sure if fuel is pulled on them or not but they have a slight haze at WOT.

Who's tunes are you running? I'm really interested in your setup. Makes me wish I had gone larger than 205 with my injectors.

scparrish · Jun 7, 2014

my 195/75s run pretty good with a box 66 but I could go for a little less lag.

I'm running quicktricks tunes right now, I got my gear head tunes today but haven't got them downloaded yet. I'm dropping icp at wot so I know the truck still has a more left in it.

Sorry guys, this is the 68mm turbine with a 1.10 housing. Long story short customer was stranded at TS and we ended up with truck here then he wanted to do some upgrades while we had it. This is what we had in stock and wanted to give it a try to get the customer back on the road. Results so far are impressive, a smaller 1.0 or .91 would be great with these 155cc injectors!

How is this truck doing with this turbo so far?

william_ace · Jun 27, 2014

Does anyone have any experience with a manual transmission and a non-vgt turbos? I've been thinking about trying one out but worry about the lag people seem to be talking about. Thoughts?

bumping this up would like to know as well

I have been wondering the same thing for awhile. But as you said I've heard about the lag.

2005 F250 6.0 powerstroke, 6 speed manual, egr delete, arp head studs, new oil cooler, aftermarket coolant filter, custom intake, 4" down pipe into dual 6" stacks, 8" lift, TSD super panty dropper tune.
