I would love to turbo the truck...
Its "free" power, unlike a sc which robs power to make power..


LOL yeah but my SC only robs a little and I gained 240 HP so I can't complain! LOL

I figured it probably represents what you think of turbos...

Exactly, SC is INSTANT power, with a turbo, 99% of the time there is lag.. theres more things that can wrong with a turbo as well such as turbo seals etc.

Well there goes that block....

I think, only cause its dark and I can't see very well, but I think I blew a rod, or bent a rod, or cracked a head, but whatever it was WAS NOT GOOD!:waa:

I have oil all over the whole backside of the engine bay, firewall, trans, undercarriage, you name it. So I will go to pick her up tomorrow(had to leave her in a parking lot since I was taking the wife to work do to inclement weather) with the gooseneck trailer. Oh well guess I get to build the lower end after all!:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

oh and Ian I am begining to doubt if it is worth it! LOL

Too late to turn back now...so the only option is to make sure that the end result is, in fact worth it. smiliepeelout

Yeah I thought something was up last night, at full throttle it bogged down so I took it to my tuner today and I took a few degrees timing out at load range to see if that helped since I was noticing a spark knock also.

No lag if its sized Right..

Correct, but that means a smaller turbo which = less power.

This is why on the 6.4L Diesel theres 2 turbos, back to back, small to big, smaller one spools faster and keeps the larger one spooled with limited if not no lag.
 
Sorry but I have to disagree..

There is Small= no power, Right= No lag, and Large= Lag.. jmo

I'll back my point up tomorrow.. Right now I have to go to bed 0330 comes early. lol
