Hey Turbo Guys

I have watched that one but 1 pull on a dyno isn't the same as a 5 mile pull over a mtn pass .

Your input on the build was pretty much what I envisioned.
Somewhere in th high 500s for torque is all I am looking for.
Elaborate on your comment about not messing around with an oil return.

On my truck I have a garret large frame t6 remote mount. It’s mounted right where the stock muffler used to be under the bed just in front of the rear axle. The turbo itself gravity feeds an oil pump and I pump the oil back up to the pan. It was by far the hardest part of the whole system to get right. And when it wasn’t right it was really bad. Like oil filling the intake track, and a smoke screen out the back that would make James Bond jealous. It was very frustrating to get a pump that works. This is the pump I am using now and it flat out works.

But it ain’t cheap. With a remote mount there are not really any options you have to pump it back and if I was to do it again id just mount it up high in the engine compartment and drain the oil the traditional way. Mine does work but For a while I was constantly chasing oil leaks and updating fittings to get it right. And I’ll say it again, if the tune is right you can pull any grade you want for as long as you want at moderate boost and it’ll be fine. My engine has stock hyperutectic pistons at 9.5:1, big ring gaps, and head studs on factory gaskets and has made as much as 705 hp at the tire on the big tune up, 16psi. I drive it daily on 10 psi and this combo has LOTS and LOTS of miles on it.
