Id like to keep the thread on topic and see how many 6.7s with this wicked wheel actually benefit with no BOOM

The motor in this truck did not fail from the WW2, when I changed the oil after the turbo work saw metal coming out the drain. Pulled lower oil pan and found bearings.

Lincoln locker, yes there where points on it. Also look at the fin location compared to the edge. One one side they are at the edge, on the other there is about 5mm till the edge.

I'm trying to decide if I wanna go this route or if I wanna spend the extra cash on a duramax turbo kit. Is it turbo bark if you're driving and your turbo makes a sound or is it surge? When I'm cruising slowly around 1000rpm in 6th gear and slowly accelerate my turbo makes a sound like turbo bark, but I never let off the throttle.

Why is the stock wheel not round? Is there a GOOD reason for this or is this just poor QC?

Ive read that before in another post but just blew it off as maybe someone was ***in with people. But I guess it was true...

Maybe that is how they balance them?

The duramax kit is pricey.. but check out danville he makes some awesome turbos. his 68mm stage 2 would be sick, and they sound amazing

I was actually looking at the Danville Performance BMW 2.5 Stage 2. They say its capable of 700hp and had modified vanes and exhaust housing to reduce drive pressure.

So did you get to run the wicked wheel enough to decide if it is worth the money?

He hasn't installed it in a truck yet according to his other post on the org.

His first post here says its installed in a non deleted truck.

12stroker · Jan 22, 2014

Yes I know that but on the org he said he never drove it.

Randy_270 · Jan 22, 2014

I don't know if he's driven it or not but this is what he said on the .org

Finally got it all done!!! Runs great, definitely boost quicker and has more pull over a stock truck.

Will be ordering one for my truck now and will see how it works with the war hammer tune.

To me it sounds like he's driven it or hes going off what his boss (owner of the truck) said

12stroker · Jan 22, 2014

Ok last I had read the thread over there they were pulling the motor.

tampa_steve · Jan 22, 2014

Truck was running last Friday, have driven it with the wicked wheel. Definitely with the 400.

Buck1 · Jan 22, 2014

That's what I needed to know. Thx! Will advise all if I pull the trigger, as I am all deleted and might be a nice comparison.

What's boost like compared to stock?

Does the factory wastegate still limit it to 22-24lbs? Or does it surpass the gate limit?

Im thinking this will eventually need a MCC tune for the people that have done this mod to raise limit above the 22lb-24lb. The wheel would def. help all of us who are running H&S 150hp canned tunes (Maybe with a little MCC modification), and prevent these turbos from going out

tampa_steve · Jan 24, 2014

The deleted tune is the h&s 150 box tune, boost is at 31-32lbs. Still have a faint black smoke, fuel pressure is not dropping and egt's are staying around 1200 at WOT
