"dual boost" turbo is Honeywell manufactured.
This could be interpreted a couple of ways. It has vgt and "regular vanes", which could be one way, the other way, there is two intake hoses into the turbo, one is "regulated" by the size of the opening, the other is more "open".Ok, what is "Dual Boost" then?
It isn't "twin turbo" Its one turbo, 2 separate vanes coupled by a single shaft. About 25 psi max boost.Im curious as well.
Do the gave the same idea as the 6.0's did?
Or is it refering to the twin turbo system?
More is not necessary. If someone tries to "disable" the wastegate, no extra power will be gained.Only 25 pounds of boost?? Wow!
36-37 is far from stock. The 6.0 in proper form would develop 23-25 psi. 36 or above sounds like stuck vanes.Just curious, why do the older ones, like my 6.0 use more? Mine would go up to 36-37 stock. I guess the newer ones are just more efficient?
I still remember when I brought her home from the dealership that she would peak between 30-35, but I guess I'm wrong. I know that the 64mm hit 45 going down the strip.36-37 is far from stock. The 6.0 in proper form would develop 23-25 psi. 36 or above sounds like stuck vanes.
Note, it has VGT vanes AND regular fixed vanes. Weird, aint' it!Interesting that there is a wastegate on a VGT.....do you think it was added mainly as a precautionary measure in the event of sticking vanes that might cause an overboost condition?
