Message: [QUOTE="Lubbockguy1979, post: 254292, member: 385"] My logical take on this is, the vgt was introduced for emission and fuel mpg improvement. That is why every major brand has them Also it has benifits of acting like a smaller turbo from a dead stop and a larger turbo once it spools. That does a few things. it makes the truck more responsive and potentially draws in non diesel drivers by it driving like a gas engine. as well as making the truck feel more powerful. Twin/ 2 turbos would be better for acceleration and power with more fuel but with the hp race the big 3 were in they are not going to put out a 500-600 rwhp truck at least not in the era the 6.0 was built. Remember more power leads to more failed components. Also figure in cost. Why is it ford didn't do twins after the 6.4? I would bet cost. They also reined in the fuel because to much power was on the table with the 6.4. Obviously ford wants to be competative but they are looking at a lot more that hp from a truck. They have epa, cafe and warranty to worry about. Now as we have read the non vgt will work. The stock turbo is plenty for the stock sticks and adding a non vgt turbo may change how and when the truck makes the power but I wouldn't expect a big increase. I know with 155cc injectors and a 64mm turbo 500rwhp is possible. The biggest issue would be towing when talking about a non vgt. A large vgt has the potential to tow given the ability to better manage your egts with larger sticks. There are still limits to what you could do with a single and tow though. [/QUOTE]
