  • Ford tech here, just wanted to mention that this is a great video! Nice to see some accurate information laid out smooth and efficiently. I'll be pointing customers here when the get that HP/ TQ itch to help understand what works and why. Thanks for taking the time, I'm subscribed. From a Ford guy!
  • @MrEastex
    This literally answered every question I had about upgrading my turbocharger. Great video 👍🏼
  • Nice video. To many guys are buying big turbos not realizing the sacrifices that come with it. I years ago, was one of those guys. Great info!
  • @FlatPlaneCranky
    Very informative! I’ve been wondering which turbo to upgrade to with my LBZ and you’ve answered my questions! 🙏🏻
  • @dr.bowdoin3067
    Great video! I feel relieved I kept my valley charger stock and added a precision 67mm on my f250.
  • @djjamar
    This was great advice. Thank you for putting it in real world examples.

    You are one of the few shops that take the time to explain the theory in turbo performance that bigger isn’t always better for Diesel engines and matching the right parts for its intended use... It reminds me of the old days with people hot roding gas engines and always wanting a big camshaft because it sounded cool with the “lopey Idle” but would give up a ton of drivability and performance when matching the wrong camshaft to the rest of the engine and application use! Great video!
  • @Jim-jb2jr
    Thanks for the video. I had a basic understanding of turbos. Now, I have much better understanding.
  • @davidschmidt449
    Great video. I was thinking of going with the 67 on my lml but I think I’ll be changing that to a 64 Or compound.

    The best no bullshit heads up video/section there is
  • @markrich3271
    Compressor wheel and turbine wheel design are huge not just size. Wheel profile , extended tip , slim hub , then the pressure your looking to make will dictate how many blades youll have 11+0 5+5 6+6 and AR and wastegate size to combat back pressure. There so much more to consider .
  • @wild12valve
    What's your take on 11balde compressor wheels vs others?
  • Hey! I have an LLY with EFI live, 45% over injectors and CP3 pump from Lincoln diesel. Welded y-bridge and a lift pump with the stock turbo. The best way I can describe the sound it is making would be, it sounds like a really bad spark knock (ping) When I first had the injectors and CP3 pump done, I just figured that was the way bigger injectors sound. But sometimes it just sounds really bad. My balance rates are all within range. I even took it to diesel fuel systems in Bangor Maine and had it reflashed. They didn't seem to think anything sounded weird. Does this sound like an air/fuel mix problem? I've checked for any boost leaks and I haven't found anything. It's really irritating 🤣 Thanks! Keep up the good work!
  • @masonpauls
    Great videos and thank you! Took the air horn off my new to me '07 5.9 to change the oil filter and realized the turbine on the stock turbo is really chewed up. Looks like something made its way through there, and I cant believe it didn't grenade. So based on your recommendations it sounds like going back with a stock turbo might be best for a stock engine, daily driver, occasional RV towing, and no smoke wanting truck...? Thanks for any insight and I need to give you guys a call.

    Could you do a video on sizing compounds turbos for different applications?
