Full Floater Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 What did this turbo upgrade do to help keep smoke output down? Does it spool quickly to clean up the upshift/hard throttle smoke? Im looking to upgrade turbo's, not necessarily to make more power but to make it run as clean as I can make a 50 year old diesel run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 This something I would be interested in as well Last thing I would want is to get put off the road because some over educated femnazi snibeliberatarian has escaped the city to tell the country people how to live My understanding is turbo technology has moved in leaps and bounds over the last 40 years so there's a fair chance we can make these bucjets of bolts run a lot cleaner and more efficient with out turning up the pump or even chasimg more power This I am interested in My turbo technology is 50 years old and it is good but a lot has changed in 50 years To my way of thinking, the quicker it spools and makes boost the cleaner it runs as the air fuel mixture is in the ideal zone from a much earlier revs Turning up the pump would do little but increade EGT's and wreck my motor as the loads I shift often require full power all day, as in no hills and no letting off the go pedal Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I to will be upgrading a wore out oem style turbo, with no intention of making more power, just to clean up the smoke a bit. But some power, lower egt's and increased fuel economy might just be some added bonus's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
