Have you had any surging with this Turbo expesially when your lugging and you roll into the throttle?

 

[madpowerstroke]

I can answer for him,all theturbos so far that I built have no surging problems at all.They don't lug or smoke at all unless you go wot and than just a puff and then no smoke.Surging was one of the concerns I had,so I sorted that out first,bfore doing the rest.int:

No surging. I've even tried to get it to surge by lugging it, but no dice. This thing is about as smooth as any thing you could ask for.

On another note, today my mom needed me to change the oil in her Escalade, so she brought it over to the house. I drained it, removed the old filter, but when I started to install the new one I noticed it was the wrong filter. My wife was about to leave in her car and I can't let anyone that isn't an employee drive my company vehicle, so that left my truck. I gave her the keys and her filter to go get another one. I didn't program it back to stock or to a lower HP tune, just let her go in what I believe to be a 490-500rwhp truck. Didn't say anything to her about my "tests" as she was now a subject. All I asked was that she allow it to cool to at least 400*EGT before shutting down and wait for the glow plugs to cycle before cranking up.

When she got back I hit her with a bunch of questions about her driving experience. I asked how it felt and what she thought about the throttle response. She said, "It feels good, you push the accelerator and it just goes. It drives very well. It feels smaller than it is." She also commented that it's easy to get moving too fast. Keep in mind that over the last 16 years my mom has owned a Mustang, 2 Trans Ams, 2 Escalades and a 2006 Corvette. She knows what quick throttle response is.

To me, this says a couple different things. 1, If the truck was laggy on the bottom end, she would've noticed it. 2, Chris's tunes are great. They work awesome with this turbo. Drives like a gasser till' you hit the skinny peddle, then it takes off like a raped ape and leaves the gasser's in the dust. This turbo and the SPD tune are a great combo for those of you looking to make a purchase from MTW. 3, The turbo works well enough to provide a smooth consistent daily driver and enough power to head out to the track or smoke anyone who decides to pick a fight on the street.

Mad, what turbo do you have or are going to have that you'd recommend with 190/75 injectors?

Hey Chris,
Right now Adrian is working on converting a 4094va (aka: duramax stage 2, hopefully aka: MTW Stage 3) I forget all the specs on it but it is a 68x94mm compressor wheel I believe with a gt40 turbine wheel. Once he gets his modded and it for sure works, I am going to pull the trigger and mod one so him and I both can test these out. We'll head down to Bill @ PHP for some tuning action to see what they are able to put out. The thing though is if it does work, this turbo will have the ability to be water cooled as well.

 

[strokin6L]

sweet....definitly keep me posted on your results because i'm going back to a vgt at some point in the near future.

 

[Strokin304]

I must of missed it but how do you get one?? I can get 2 LLY turbos just wanting to know what I have to do to get one for my truck?

 

[strokin6L]

all you need to do is send him your stock 6L turbo, but i'm sure he'll take the duramax turbo's to haha.

 

[Strokin304]

Have prices been discussed? Thanks for the quick reply

 

[Mwilbur516]

Prices have been discussed, but that was before Adrian was hooked up with Dozers Diesel. The prices were removed due to hurt feelings and forum rules. Which turbo are you looking for?

 

[Strokin304]

I am looking for the durastroke LLY turbo...and is there a core charge or discount if i send in two LLY stock turbos with my stock turbo?

 

[windrunner408]

Well I'm not sure Adrian is ready to release prices as he is still "testing" and isnt ready for a full release yet of his turbos. I'll let him fill in the details.

 

[Mwilbur516]

You my friend need to PM Adrian directly. Shoot a PM saying you have 2 LLY's and your stocker and see what he says. I know the LLY's are harder to come by. He's MADPOWERSTROKE. Tell him what you have and what you want.

 

[Strokin304]

PM sent....Thanks everyone.

Once he gets it so it functions as a turbo, i.e. is able to spin at idle, actuate the vanes, and spool up and be driveable; I am going to pull the trigger on one to have him mod so he can have two going for testing.

 

[faster6.0]

Man these turbos are going to be right on the money

 

[Fox hunt]

I got me a LLY turbo, can't wait for the day that I ship it off so it comes back MAD.
