Compound set up with stock turbo?

[HobbyStock62]

Just thinking about this...really dont know how this would work, or how i could do it. just wondering if some people have done it? If i were to go with stock vgt and then a larger vgt, what vgt should i get and what injectors? just a thought for end of summer. also, what would all the supporting mods be with this? i know complete fuel system is a must and probably building the tranny at this point. but yea, let me hear some ideas! i would daily drive this truck aswell as pull a 12000lb race trailer on the weekends.

cant do it on 6.0 because something to do with ecu and their being no vgt loopback sensor. is what I've read it been asked before and even tried i think.

You could do it but you would need a standalone controller for the vgt primary.

Do you have a primary in mind?

As of right now, I really dont have anything in mind. Im open to everything I guess...vtg, non vgt, that is afordable, really not looking to spend 3k for a turbo...Just something that would be able to be daily driven and tow with. Not looking for insane amounts of power, but a little somethin somethin ya know? I will most likely end up going with a larger single, but I want to explore compounds a little and see if I could work my stock turbo into it. Or, if I go with non vgts? i know i cant have cheap, fast, and reliable, so looking for cheap and reliable i guess...? but also fast. I dont know. I figure I can have a 500-550hp truck for about 3500 bucks, wondering what it would cost to get to the 600-700hp mark. I know that if i go with the 500hp set up, I will just want to do more and end up spending more down the road, so trying to just jump up a couple of steps I guess.

Do you have stock injectors?

 

[HobbyStock62]

as of right now. replaced #2 and #8 a couple of months ago, still slight miss fire when cold. rev x hides it though. Plan to get a set when I decide what turbo/compound set up to go with.

MPD has a compound with stock turbo.. I believe I have read that u can set vane position without using ebp in the tuning

For 5-600 you really dont need compounds, thats a little overkill.

 

[HobbyStock62]

For 5-6, I would do a 68 powermax, 190/100s...stuff like that. Exploring compounds for 650-750 range.

Sweet. At least double what you want to want to spend though, plus injectors

I figured I would have a good 7.5k into a compound set up with injectors, then fuel system...trans...thats another reason why I will probably end up going with a single and shoot for 550. and my buddy with a 240sx bitches about paying 500 for a turbo...

Oh ok, yes. That's realistic. My vote is compounds...lol

haha, I am really hoping to go that rout. I know that everyone goes through this, but at this point in my life, 7500 bucks is 4 months of work for me, and I cant really justify spending that much on fun right now. Who knows, maybe ill get lucky on a scratch off one of these days. haha

MPD has done it and it works...here's the setup https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...224684.-2207520000.1367850981.&type=3&theater They are using the stock turbo with the big low pressure turbo using a 40mm jgs wastegate and 225/100 injectors. I believe you need to use tuning that doesn't use the ebp sensor.

 

[HobbyStock62]

ohh, i think im going to have to look into that. the reason i want to use the stock turbo is so I would only have to buy 1 instead of 2. #brokecollegekidproblems...haha

You can get 2 turbos for not a lot. That's my plan. HE351 and something in the 70-72mm range.
