Mock-up of the redesign is complete. It fit the truck great and measurements were dead on.

Sorry i don't know much details. i know two different oil pans were mated together, a custom front gear case was milled to hold the VE pump. and it'll spin faster than most gas engines. that's really all he would tell me. it's going in a 4 door first gen. in front of a NV5600. he said the VE pump is a lot better at driving than the P pump. something about timing. has a second gen breather. i told him of the PVC mod i read about here. sorry for misleading. my bad.... he's building another that i wasn't aloud to take pics of, front case had 2 CP3's something about a 2000 HP engine for a race. speaking of races.Baja 1K starts tonight at midnight.

I've run both of those turbos. I have slightly larger injectors than you do (by a whole half of a thou!). Currently running the 62/68/12, and with the v2 tuning, spooling after a shift is no problem. I can get it spooled to 10 psi by 1700 rpm with ~25-30% throttle position as a single. If you ask Jacob, he'll say "the SXE line isn't the end all that everyone thought it was" and "the 68mm wheel seems to limit itself to 550 hp", but, it has been a robust turbo for me that has held up to moderate abuse. The reason I went to the 62/68 over the 62/65 was to have a bit more top end over the 65 wheel. Was there any gain? The butt dyno says there was, and the boost gauge picked up 7 psi at the max. But the butt dyno isn't necessarily reliable. Just my experience with it. Since you tow heavier than I do, you might consider the 65mm wheel to spool *just that* much quicker than the 68 wheel, but the Adrenaline will allow you to spool either turbo relatively easy by adjusting the CANBus percentages. Just my thoughts.

Lots of money?

Yeah, I'm callin the United States Gaming commission

And we have a winner.

bite me guys, bite me

Nailed it @Dieselfuture. His work never ends!

Even if you want to swap back to a 190 it is easy to do with only the loss of a cup or so of coolant. Just take the housing off and fold the radiator hose back. Takes 5 minutes to do.

The valve cover cover is a heat blanket developed by Advanced Thermal Products in Irvine, CA. It is custom fitted to the valve cover. I also so have the exhaust manifold, turbo charger (exhaust side), exhaust down pipe, and oil pan covered with the same material. This heat blanket is designed to easily withstand temperatures well above 2,000 degrees F., so the material does not deteriorate. The engine compartment runs considerably cooler, the seals in the exhaust brake vacuum cylinder don't get scorched, and the passenger side floor now stays cool when pulling a long grade on a hot day. My wife likes that. There are noise reduction benefits, as well. The raucous idle clatter is subdued when standing outside of the vehicle as well as when sitting inside or driving down the road with the windows up or down. My wife likes that, too. The purpose for covering the valve cover and oil pan was for engine noise reduction only. The purpose for covering the exhaust components was for heat reduction in the engine compartment. There was some noise reduction benefit, as well. - John
