Just when you thought the craziness was starting to reach a plateau, the Mad Turbo Werks Team has FINALLY left the reservation and have entered the unknown frontier of TRUE custom turbo building.
We were getting ready to head to Deep South Dyno event in Dallas, GA and I had asked Adrian to update the Hackey Sack Turbo to the Stage 3 for me with an updated turbine end. Well as things would have it, the wheel that Adrian was planning to use in the turbo turned out to be trash (looked like a beaver was chewing on the turbine wheel LOL) and other measures had to be resorted too so I could take my truck and run it for him. I showed him a dimension, he made an emergency machining appointment, and about three hours later we officially left the plotted turbo maps and entered a whole new uncharted realm.
I'm not gonna say much as I will leave that up to Adrian, but just know that so far this is the biggest turbine wheel stuffed into ANY light duty diesel VGT turbo (powerstroke, duraturd, and cummings). I put the turbo on the truck and took it for a spin with my favorite Stage 3 tune and all I can say is that I have no idea what this thing will do on the dyno, as it really needs some tuning. As always, we will post results when we get them.
