Where can one of those springs be had from?

Been there, broke that.
I made it. trimmed angle iron, stock wastegate actuator tip, fine thread bolt, and a spring from a transmission that was laying around the shop.

This was an awesome thread to read guys. Always nice to see new innovations coming around for the 6.5L

I just asked this over at the 'place too, but I am installing the turbo and everything is fine except the turbo oil drain. How are you modifying it to fit the existing drain pipe? It is close to bolting on but is about an inch off. I have the turbo "clocked" to make the drain face down which also lines up the compressor outlet with my newly cut down intake, but the drain is giving me issues. Thanks.

Mine didn't bolt up either. After realising it wasn't gonna fit, I bent it. It is flimsy.

Cut the drain pipe and then "lengthen" the tube about 1/2" with a 3/4 hose and clamps.
And you will need to clock the turbo body to the correct angle.

Use a tube cutter. There will not be any shavings that way.

Or maybe remove the pipe, only 4 bolts. That way it could be cleaned and painted. Guarantee's no contamination in pan either.

you said that it chokes still on the 6.5l? when you installed it did you pull out the OEM down pipe and replace it as well?

4inch diamond eye exhaust installed less than 500 miles after I owned the truck. Seems to be a 3inch downpipe into a 4inch system.

i was just curious if it was still the crushed OEM downpipe... it is a piece of restrictive crap.... do you agree? some places it is crushed down to 2.5"....

I think it had a stock downpipe. That was a few month ago, and I have short memory. And, yes, they are somewhat restrictive!

I took the oil drain tube off to cut it with a metal chop saw.
Turbonator, I like that idea for the TM!
I just installed a 0-30 PSI boost gauge (up from 0-15) last night... Lets see what this HX40 is really putting down!

I believe Bruce was working on a TM for this turbo too. Any progress with that?
BTW, I got the turbo installed and things are looking good so far.
