    Just getting my truck back today!!!
    I did go ahead and put a Borg Warner stage 1 turbo and bully dog ceramic exhaust manifold on there. It sounds just like my old 12.7!!

    VG turbos and waste gate turbos fail far more frequently than assymetric turbos. That is one of the reasons I yanked the waste gate turbo off my factory remanned Detroit 60 and put a BG 171702 assymetric turbo on. 913,000 miles on this turbo and nary a problem. I never replaced the assymetric turbo on my 1995 Cummins N-14 and it got sold at 1.4 million miles. Again, turbo was just fine. Truck went right to work for next owner.

    I’ve only driven about 160 miles with it but I notice with this turbo has a lot more lag than the 14l turbo. And it seems that the power really kicks in about 1300 rpms......

    That would be true. It is not really a good choice for P&D work. it is really OTR and keeping the Detroit 60 in that prime operating band of 1300-1600 RPM.
