Had I to do it over, I would have gotten a 366SXE turbo. (Yea, I know, Mustangs are slow in stock form, but still impressive a ~7000# 4X4 truck can run with it.) And from ~40up, I'm side by side with his car. Obviously its NOT a race truck, I have raced my buddies 5.0 Mustang.
With the added power, and having a 68RFE, also had to drop some coin on a built unit. So, yes, you CAN have a NON VGT turbo and retain the factory EB functionality.Īs truck was completely stock at that time, I also had to tune it for the new turbo. This kit works with the factory button and operates just like the factory VGT EB. With that said, I tow often, and I wanted the extra braking power provided by an EB. As some above have said, no Exhaust Brake with NON VGT (For the remainder of the thread to be referred to as EB, unless otherwise noted by **). I tend to look forward to failures in my vehicles, as it gives me an opportunity to upgrade. (Granted, that includes tuning, deleting, exhaust, turbo and manifold, and built Transmission)
#871 NON VGT MHHAUTO PLUS#
Replace the Turbo & or Actuator, OR upgrade.įigured if I'm going to spend ~$1500 (Actuator) or ~$3000 for factory complete turbo Plus the labor to install, might-as-well spend more and get more I spent around ~$10,000 to fix my Turbo. Plus we’re talking another few hundred dollars or more. Does it make sense to switch to non VGT and delete? Or should I just replace what is already there? Reliability and longevity are my main concerns.
#871 NON VGT MHHAUTO DRIVER#
This truck is not my daily driver but when in camping season it transports my family and 12K travel trailer.įrom what I’ve read, the VGT turbo is a known failure part. That will put me right around $4k installed.
#871 NON VGT MHHAUTO FULL#
Since the truck is out of warranty, I have been thinking about replacing with the BD Iron Horn s363 kit and doing a full delete. The best I can find locally is $3500 for a new factory turbo installed. They told me the in service date was September 20th 2013 and that the warranty expired November 20th 2018(this happened dec 11th) FCA wanted nothing to do with me and the dealer wanted $3900 to replace the turbo. Went to dealer and truck was out of warranty. 45k miles(bought used with 42,913 1 owner) CEL came on and went into limp mode. Any insight or if anyone has had a similar experience please help.Ģ014 3500 mega dually CTD. Let's keep opinions out of this and let hard data prove me wrong.Hey fellas. Prove to me that a street truck is better suited as a non-vgt. This is one thing that will convince me that these are so awesome over a VGT setup. Or even more detailed and a datalog from idle. Lets see a vid from outside the vehicle where we can see the exhaust and we know when the throttle was hit. No videos starting when spool up has already started! Must be at idle when the video starts.
The driver then mashes the throttle and we see what happens. What I want to see is the truck sitting there idling. I want to see OFF-IDLE because a street truck rarely has time to be "spooled-up" when a competitive truck pulls up next to them that needs schooled. How about someone post some off-idle acceleration runs. I here it from people and its posted on the forums but I want to see vids. Obviously where I am from (and having owned a large single truck before) I am a bit skeptical. I keep hearing how responsive the big singles are.
