Message: [QUOTE="Zeb, post: 1543339, member: 30304"] Let me state right off the bat that I like properly sized non-vgt’s. I have run anything from stock injectors up to 190/30’s with an SXE 362/68/.83 turbo. Probably a dozen trucks with that size turbo. Right off the line you will notice virtually no difference in spoolup between the 362 or similarly sized vgt. Where you will see the difference is at low rpm in a higher gear with the converter locked. Good tuning can/will nearly eliminate the vgt advantage in this scenario. I have nearly 50,000 miles of experience on a single truck with the specs as follows. 2005 F450, 4.30 gears, 245/75/19.5’s (33.5-34” tall), 175/stock injectors, SXE 362/68/.83 on an Irate T-4. This truck tows on a daily basis, rarely grossing less than 30,000 lbs gross, and often as high as 46,000 lbs gross. After running a stock 05 turbo, an 03 turbo with a Wicked Wheel 2 in it, and constantly fighting egt on a hard pull, I swapped to the 362. I was actually able to ADD pulsewidth to the tow file and no longer fight egt. I have an SXE 63/68/.83 on my Excursion with 225/30’s (along with many other mods) and it never comes off the tune that dyno’s nearly 600 rwhp, not even towing 15,000-17,500 lbs gross between here in Ky and Albuquerque NM. I’ve run multiple non-vgt’s over the 8 years, and a few larger vgt’s, and definitely prefer non-vgt. [/QUOTE]
