Responsive Turbo/compounds Thoughts

I've got something in the works at a high level for one of the Dmax VGTs - I need to get some stuff off my plate before it becomes an active project.

As in for use on a 7.3? Or just in general for the dmax vgt turbo's.

For use on a 7.3. The more I think about it - the more and more I like the idea. Not ready to talk about anything else quite yet.

I've got my second set of VGT compounds getting ready to fire up in the next few days- a Danville 72mm VGT with a tiny little S483 - When the time gets closer though I might have something to talk about....

Have you worked on this concept lately Jason? It would be nice if the collector for this charger was bolted to the turbine like the earlier years. That would give you way more mounting flexability.

I don't suppose you could mount one of those earlier turbines on the vgt design could you?

I've been too busy with everything to touch this beyond some concept sketches I have. I have two trucks in the shop that MUST both get done before I ever think about this beyond what what I have shared already.

I don't really see the need to do anything beyond an adapter plate and build a set of up-pipes that mimic the Dmax equivalents.

This is what I am working on. I just have not had a lot of time since I am getting my house ready to sell and working on the new house all at the same time.

I believe I have the mount figured out, just have to make a set of up pipes.
