    Causes the turbo to work way harder than it needs too, eventually will cause it to fail.

    would deleting the vpod and installing the older turbo be a good idea?

    I got my truck deleted and then maxed out at 515hp and 1850tq
    Tuner said if I got an older 12.7 turbo and manifold i would be open to a lot more power options
    Prior to tune I put a new turbo.
    After the tune my manifold cracked....( common for a Detroit)
    So I should have replaced the manifold and turbo when I was doing the turbo it’s self from the beginning.
    A lot cheaper too both turbo and manifold.
    And if you change the valve cover with a 2000 and older they can change the vin on the truck ecm to make it pre eld.
     
    Y-L and Cam Roberts Thank this.
