<p>[QUOTE="lester, post: 11687270, member: 77868"]Yeah but I think you are looking at it all wrong. The problem with compound turbo engines isn't the turbos, it's the tuning and other things. Everyone always says "oh I singled out my truck and picked up power and mpg" but they forget to mention that they also changed the tune too.</p><p>The compounds will handle a wide range of HP. A set on your tuned C-12 would really make it purr I'd bet. I don't know anything about the smaller bore engines or turbos but I know I really like the compounds on my 6nz. Low end power and fast spool. Can let off the gas half way up a hill and roll right back into it. Heavy and short hauls it's great.</p><p>Obviously I'm a fan but I'll go back to my corner now[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
