I always learn something when I come here. So my 606 doesn't have that coolant bypass. I haven't noticed any ill effects but I have no way of knowing if there are any hot spots at the rear cylinders. I too would prefer to err on the side of caution... especially if there has been any history...

yeah - I may have misunderstood your concerns... I got the impression you thought the boost was controlling fueling and not the other way around. I completely agree with you... I think the exhaust back pressure at steady state throttle "may" impact the fueling to some degree. Not sure how...

Thanks Bryan.. that's exactly what I needed. I've targeted 1250 As my maximum safe allowable EGT...1350 would be a concern for me. I do have mine setup with the VNT turbo, an extra large intercooler and I am prewired for methanol injection although that system will only be installed if I find...

Bryan- that's awesome! Do you remember how the EGT looked on those long full throttle hill pulls? That's a big concern with my build since my turck is quite a bit heavier and I do tow an 8000# trailer on occasion.

Sure- it's not the rod that's short, it's that the vacuum actuator itself only has about 5/8" of stroke. Meaning without vacuum applied, the rod is fully pushed out by a spring. When you apply vacuum, the rod pulls in 5/8". It physically can't pull in any more distance than that. My VNT...

well I used one from an audi gt2056V, which is the same Garret turbo series as mine but the travel of the actuator was .650" and my turbo arm required 1.09" of movement so I had to make an adapter. Rich told me his actuators travel matched his turbo arm movement pretty closely. That's why I'd...

My turbo is not the GT23V but harley50 (from STD site) used one of those on his conversion. you might ask him which one he used as it seems to have fit pretty well.

I don't have a build thread.. I tried on the super turbo diesel site but never got a response on picture hosting so I gave up. I've had a link to this thread for some time and just today decided to register just to thank you because many decisions I made were based on this thread! Things like-...

Bryan- No on the wastegate. Baldur was nice enough to incorporate VNT control into the latest DSL-1 firmware so I removed the OM606 KKK turbo and adapted in a VNT turbo out of the OM642. I did remove the hella motor actuator and replaced it with a vacuum VNT actuator. I also went with a...

Bryan- I just want to thank you for posting all of your detailed efforts. I'm doing this swap on an f150 and your posts have been extremely helpful so thanks!
