t6 turbo time..ideas..
#11
This turbo load thing has spiraled out of control lol. I am working on another writeup though...hopefully clear up some of this 'load' mystery. Your turbo is loaded to the maximum the moment you open the throttle all the way. Transient response if what you're talking about
ok let me try this again. between the weight of the truck and the 3200rpm converter the engine makes a lot of rpm, exhaust pressure and heat very quickly. there for the it tends to be able to spool a turbo quickly. the tc78 is at full boost by the middle of a typical intersection.
i agree load isn't everything, but i do know the heavier the trailer and the steeper the hill the easier is spools to a point. if rpm drops too low then its a mute point. thats why my buddy had to go from his pis poor 3:23's to 3:90's. rpm rise was much faster so turbo came online much quicker and didn't loose spool/boost with gear change like before.

yeah i get ya. that happens a lot online. even when its ment well.
i want to go ahead and step up to the t6 that way i have room to grow later (engine wise). i think with a good tune and the right combo it will spool nicely. its not turbo lag its traction control.
so who wants to buy a tc78 and hot pipe set up?? lol

T4 is an extra $200. Not a huge difference, and t4 is offered all the way to 1.25ar. It packages easier and will flow plenty. I would not put an s480 with the big turbine in the category of a relatively "responsive" turbo, the 87 or 92mm turbine would be my choices depending on how hard you want to push it. Just my 2 cents

$200 bucks is a huge difference when you add up all the other little things. I think this is going to be a good package. With the right tuning, cam and other odds and ends I think she will be a beast. Packaging isn't as big of a deal as one would think under that hood. In a car sure but I. A truck way more room. The tc78 was a beast on the 5.3 I would recommend it any day of the week for great power and fast *** spool. But it's not going to do what I personally want.
