Midwest Diesel shop truck gets a little upgrade.

Look forward to the dynamic results. Which dyno?

Superflow. No inflated numbers coming outta this one.

It will be a while before I can afford to add fuel so I am not sure what turbo setup I will ultimately go with, but I really like this kit for ease of working on everything and how clean it is. I am thinking on the atmo side my ultimate setup would be around an 80mm that is a ball bearing turbo. Would something like a GTX3576R or GTX3582R fit?

You're saying that it cleans up 100% 6 hole nozzles at 2.3ms?

Yeah, The mounts will but the piping would have to be modified. We are doing Garrett compounds here in the next month on another truck. See how that goes.

Yes sir, when the converter locks it builds full boost and it's clean. Surprised the crap out of me.

Nice set up, killer work!

Looking forward to hearing how the Garrett compounds work out.

excited for these, i absolutely LOVE the way garretts scream.
Dmitri's red lb7 gives me wood every time i hear it on the dyno.

i Always said if i were to do Non-factory twins it would have to be two garrets

I noticed in the pics that the oil fill is on driver side with what looks like the mpd billet oil fill. How is this accomplished and why, extra room I'm guessing right.

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Jul 7, 2014

Has to be moved to the drivers side. Just too much to keep it on the passenger side. It requires swapping valve covers from side to side and an mpd ccv. No reason to make it complicated when there is plenty of room on the other side.

Ok cool exactly what I was thinking, looks good.

Radioflyer · Jul 7, 2014

Looks awesome Morgan!!

Stroked777 · Jul 7, 2014

can you still get to the oil filler ? isnt it under the cowl at the point? or do you just need a really long funnel LOL

madman1234509 · Jul 7, 2014

Lots of ways to do it and make it much more convenient with a custom set up or even bigger elite kits with bigger piping. We ordered moroso ccv canisters and welded a tube onto each valve cover. Works great and is what we use as the oil fill.

Also, pretty crazy that you don't smoke at all. Makes me think I need to stop procrastinating and get another tuning revision. I don't come close to cleaning up smoke at wide open throttle with with 66/88 setup I have on the performance tune. And I see at least 65-70lbs of boost with 35 out of the atmo

You can use a funnel. We use an oil pump with a digital nozzle from bulk. But either way it's not bad at all.

Who tunes are you using? And we are pushing a little more boost out of this setup. When it was only pushing 60 running off spring it smoked more. It still smokes, just cleans 95% up at wot once the converter locks and we get a good load to pull 70 psi.

Gearhead. On the 2nd revision. My biggest issues with the tuning is it still hazes at idle, which I mentioned to him before the revision, and light throttle light load haze getting up to speed, it's slight, but noticeable. I know I need to put heavier springs in my gates to get more adjustment out of the regulator, just haven't gotten around to it. Hoping to keep them closed a bit longer to make more boost. But after talking with you at TS I am definitely putting a smaller hp charger in the truck. Not that it's an issue now. But if I could get more boost, easier down low it'd be perfect. Probably a 62 or 63mm Garrett unit.
