Turbo mod.

[Codyluker10]

Hey guys, I’m new to the forum and this is my first post so let’s see how it goes!

I have a 2014 eco diesel with the 60 hp ppei tune, flopro 3in exhaust, and S&B cold air intake. Leveled with 33x12.5x20 Toyo mt.

Anyways, I am Seriously considering a turbo mod. What is the best option to choose? Twin? Add on/ compound turbo? Are these even good options.
Looking to see what people have done. This truck is already sweet, looking to take it up another couple levels.
Thanks guys, Cody.

What do you hope to get out of the mod? Better mpg? More power? Just mod for fun?

 

[Codyluker10]

More power, but not so much that it leads to breaking things left and right. Would love to hear the whistle too. I had a 6.0 and loved that whistle but doubt I can get anything close to that in this one

I would just caution you about doing anything with this power plant with the intent to garner more power. These engines do not have a good track record under normal operating conditions. I don’t imagine they hold together any better by souping them up.

I wasn’t aware that they had a lot of issues. I’m at 100k miles as well as two of my buddies and none of us have had any problems (knock on wood).
I know that adding to the turbo will lower egt temp considerably as well as a few other temps which is all good for the motor, so what is the down side of doing the conversion

I’m not an expert at all. I would just encourage you to read about all the problems the Eco diesels are having in the short time they have been in production.

I think once you do, you might just keep that $2500 in your back pocket instead of spending it on a turbo mod. You may need that money for repairs sooner than later.

Never mind $2500, you'd need about $10-11 000 in your pocket to replace the motor when you blow it...

I’m trying to be positive, lol, I have ruffled a few feathers on here with my “doom & gloom”.

 

[Codyluker10]

Will look into the issues with them.
I will say that I’m very impressed with my truck. I have an awfully heavy foot and have given this truck a run for it’s money. So far so good.

[Codyluker10]

For sure my favorite truck so far.

Sounds awesome, does someone even make a turbo conversion kit?

Espos diesel based in Plattsburgh NY sells a compound kit or they use too. H&S developed a compound kit also. Diesel power performance sells it on their website. The H&S gives a great whistle. You could run it with your 60 tune or upgrade the tune if wanted. GDE also has a tune for a compound setup.

Would love to put the H&S compound on. If anyone has added it I would love to know your personal opinions!
