Can my 64mm powermax be modded?

Strokin6.4 · May 26, 2014

Im new to the 6.0 word so be easy. I bought a truck with a powermax and 175/75 warrens and want to go bigger with the turbo. Im sticking with vgt so I'm curious can it be used as a core to make bigger our best to sell it and buy new from barder etc?

A lot of companies that sponsor this place punch them out bigger.

I am sure they will chime in.

x2 for Barder. fast turnaround time and builds a wicked modded pmax. budget friendly too.

he is NRHX2009 on here

KC Turbo can build off that also.

pretty much if the turbo is in good working order, vgt siloniod, unison, vanes and bearings are good then yeah the world is at the palm of your hand. as long as your truck can be down for the time needed to get your turbo to them, worked on, and back.

barder and kc are great options, lots of people with lots of happy reviews. and though i haven't read much on the vision diesel stuff they seem to have their stuff inline as well, and matt is a great guy to get you any answers you need. i personally went with a barder since i knew i wanted a new turbo and the stage 2 was where i wanted to be, james was awesome and even had it to me a day before he thought he would. now if i could get the rest of the truck figured out to see what the damn thing will do...

I'm getting mine done at barder as we speak. he does incredible work, tsd had one of his turbos up to 900hp and it ran fine. the turbo it self is rated for 600hp thats how good he is.

If you have not already done it... then a billet wheel will be a nice upgrade. A billet wheel pmax is usually a pretty good match for 175s

I prefer the single plane wheels like the one in this link

KC Turbos can also build out of a pmax core depending on what turbo you want. We have a lot of great options.

Send me a pm or email if you have any specific questions

What alternator is that?

Mixedbreed · May 27, 2014

I have a billet wheel for a pax that I will be selling as soon as I get my turbo off and too barder. If that is what you may be looking at. It won't work if you go with a 68 though.

james is building mine as we speak. it should be back at tsd soon. but yea i taled to him on the phone hes very nice. and hes rebuilding my powermax to a 68mm. he was telling me how good of luck he has on his turbos he builds. no complaints knock on wood. im really excited to get it back and run it. he even took a old 6.0 turbo i had and the powermax and took the core charge from the 6.0 turbo and put the cost toward the bill to make it cheaper.
