Lol well from my reading the reason D-Techs are cheap is cause its your basic S300 with are cheap turbos persay, they are proven and simple. D-Tech just makes custom 'Race Covers' which is what the inducer housing is called by some places, in house. So it should be a S300 that has a D-Tech custom made house.

EDIT: If I can find the link I will post it lol I have sthi luck of finding stuff once.

Here is the link about where its a standard S300 cartridge so you can change wheels and such with other S300 Housings and wheels.

After seeing all the boost leaks I'm not going to even bother trying to fix them all. My setup will now consist of a normal crossover going straight to the 'cooler.

With all the recent terminology changing, I'm more confused than usual :lol: Are you done with air to water all together and using air to air? Or are you using that industrial air to water?

Air to air is for quitters. :P

I'm getting a factory/industrial-style water after cooler and using my AC condensor setup to cool it. If I don't get rid of my shiny 'cooler I may look into using it between stages, using engine coolant, but that'll have to be one long winter to make me want to go through this again. :lol:

Yeah, or that. Fine then, either a long winter or a short afternoon.

Shouldn't you be working?

Mondays and Tuesdays are my weekends :p I work Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, and Sun.

EDIT: And here is a little segment from comp d about your D-Tech turbo

I have the D-Tech 62/65/12. It's a good street turbo, not much lag, good air, and a good wastegate setup. It has the standard s300 cartridge and they make their own housings. It's a sweet combo with the 5 x 12s, but the 5 x 14s may be a tad too much for it depending on where you set your plate.

And here is what you need to run for your atmosphere turbo

Every Monday off? No wonder you're such a happy guy. :P

I've sent out a few PMs to some turbo vendors about a different compressor housing. I'll let you all know when I know something.

Shit, I need to get the thing actually huffing before I worry about upgrades for it. :sad:

By the way, the drive you took last night was with the boost set at 30psi. I didn't think to crank it up for you. :oops:

I think it was 30 PSI cause it was peppier then other Cummins I have drove, but it wasnt what i was expecting with a Compound. So yeah need to crank her up.

I just leave it set at 30psi hoping whatever's wrong will fix itself. 30psi should be around the sweet spot for my 62, so that's where it stays.

One of these days I'll pull out and try to make a gap in traffic, my problem will *pop*, and all of a sudden I'm walking the truck sideways down the road in front of a bus full of college cheerleaders.

That's the plan, anyways. 8)
