Reckless: Yes, you would probably want to change the exhaust housing out to a .85AR. I believe we have those in stock for the same cost. The turbos come standard with a .65AR. We left the .65AR on the turbos so stock engines spool as quickly as possible. Anyone looking to make 600rwhp+ will definitely want to go with the larger housing. We will list it as a drop down option on our website.

engineer478: What kind of blower? Might be worth a trade.

Thanks
Sean

If the reports are good on this after a satisfactory amount of time I will buy an earlier truck to put this on. Thinkin' an 06-07 2500 RCLB. Only weighs ~ 5k with 6.0/4l80. Price will probably be up somewhat by then but if the quality and fit is good...won't matter. Great job gentlemen. Sub'd

It only took weeding out 3-4 factory's to accomplish it We do apologize for the delay. It took us much longer than we expected to dial everything in.

Thanks

Sounds about right for the time it took. Guess the factory that does On3 kits said no to borrowing that design.

ZO6Ted: Sounds good. Thank you..

Yes, we are using the same manufacture we use our exhaust products for, while using American turbos. The delay was confidently sourcing three other factory's with good quality control. We went through 2/3 of them before pulling the trigger. On3 doesn't use the same factory as us to my knowledge, and our kit was actually prototyped before their twin kit hit the market a few years ago.

Thanks
Sean

Default Towing

Another noob in the house.
Question
I have a 2010 2500hd 6.0 on 35’s and 6 in lift. I was not planning on towing very much with it but I have recently purchased a new trailer and haul water (all together about 12k lbs). Would your turbo setup help with towing? Currently it takes 3 days to get up to 65 loaded down

I think you would be better served with a new rear end gear before turbskies

So what gear would you recomend. I believe it has 3.73 I’ve heard of some people using 4.56 with 33’s but crap highway mileage. Not too worried about the gas consumption but 75-80% of my travel is highway.

Lets not hijack the thread. start another one and I think this could be a great conversation to help you out on towing.
