That's pretty cool. Seems like it'd be a lot more reliable than the vgt on the 6.7

[dazedandconfused]

Anybody heard anything else about these?

[BILTIT]

Anyone phone about a price?

[Remps]

If anyone does phone, ask about lbs/min compressor flow.

[PToombs]

Yeah, how much? I bet it's expensive, as it only comes as a kit, manifold, controller, turbo, etc.

[Remps]

Prices start at about 3000 bucks. It has a 4" turbine outlet, and I was told it would support boost levels of 50+ psi and up to 750 hp.(comon rail I'm assuming) Was also told the compressor flows 35 lbs/min. (The baby h1c flows more than that, and it'd take 70+lbs/min to support 750 hp) Anyways, you can buy a bolt on twin kit for that kind of money.

Seems like a gimmick to me, but time will tell.

Sounds kinda like a fancy quickspool valve to me ?

Got some more info on it: The price is 2700 to 3500 depending on bell and whistles. The system is the turbo with the turbine housing with the vane and delphi actuator, the standalone programmable turbo computer, a cahn unit to let the computer and your laptop communicate. This allows you to log data such as backpressure, boost pressure, throttle position, turbo rpm, egt's, and vane position. You can view all of this in real time on your laptop. For most applications controlling the vane using backpressure data works very well and this sensor is included in the lower price. The 63 mm compressor wheel is rated by Borg Warner at 75 lbs/minute by weight. Supposed to go on sale in a few weeks.

Whoa. Way too much electronics for a first gen. (j/k)

No sthi, I hear ya ' !! Better have one tuff laptop if its going o ride in a first gen !!!!

Ya, but you could tell the Duramax guys that you gots EFI Live. It should be interesting to see how it makes out in a couple years though. It looks to have the potential to be very versatile for a single turbo. Time will tell I guess.
