    Knicked Turbo Vanes - What to do?

    Changed compressor housings the other day and must have gotten a small piece of metal into the blade of the compressor. Pulled the housing and notice on blade on the tip of the compressor had a slight gouge mark on the leading edge, and another blade had a slightly rolled edge at the base...

    Let's Hear you Water/Meth Experiences

    So I'm considering running default Smarty timing with a low mix of meth (maybe 10-15%). I know that the meth can increase timing, but at what percentage? Would I be asking for trouble? I'd like to hear what everyone is running for timing and what percentage of methanol are you all running...

    Dynoing with Open Rear End - Please Report

    I'm planning on visiting the dyno in the next couple months and I have a concern over being able to hook up on the rollers. One stupid thing about my truck that I absolutely hate is that it has an open rear end instead of a limited slip differential. Every time I take off if I'm not locked in...

    Let's Talk Duration vs. High Flow Rate

    During some tuning experiments the other day, I noticed a couple things about EGTs and injection duration. I started out thinking I couldn't heat up too much with my setup because of my small sticks (25hp) and stock CP3, but I was proven wrong when I turned up my Smarty. I thought I had enough...

    Curb Weight of an '06?

    I've searched all over the internet and can't find the curb weight of a 4x4 Cummins 2500. Mine is a regular cab, but I would like to know if anyone on here that has an 03 - 07 CR have ever weighed their truck, either quad cab or regular?

    How to tell if your Transmission is Slipping

    Hey guys, this may sound like a stupid question, but my ATS Stage VI 48RE seems to be not acting just right. This weekend I tried to install a lockup converter, which sent my truck to limp mode. I wasn't aware of what limp mode felt like, and drive about 5 miles with Smarty TNT on SW7, TM4...

    Used Turbo Worth It?

    Found a Silver 64 for $1450. Guy says 5000 miles daily driver only. No racing or pulling and ran it with stock sticks and a Smarty only. Said max egt he saw was 1000 deg. What do you guys think? I've been generally against buying used turbos, but this is the one I was going to get anyway...

    Is a Silver 64 too BIG?

    Hey guys, going to be upgrading to either a Silver 62 or 64 soon, with everything in my sig plus studs and an Arson CP3 kit from Wicked Diesels. I've been reading that the 64 won't spool well with these small stix (25hp:hehe:), but I've heard people can make big power with a big turbo with...

    Why No Garretts on 3rd Gens?

    I have been looking around at turbo options lately trying to decide what I want and noticed that the few people that are running Garretts chargers are mostly 2nd Gens. What gives? If these ball bearing turbos are so sweet, how come I've never seen a sig with a single Garrett? I've heard they...
