I just got the comp drag and when I climb any hill unloaded the EGT'S just keep climbing, even with the box set on the lower settings what can I do to bring the EGT down.

 

A bigger turbo will be the only effective way of lowering your EGT's enough It will cost some money, but choose the right one,and it will be sweet.

what turbo would be a good one to get and still have the truck towable?

 

You could try different intakes like the BHAF or Scotty and a wastegated 14cm housing if you don't want to buy a turbo

 

I see you already have the BHAF, you could try a hx35/40 hybrid or a small s-300/B1 from HTT, BD, Industrial injection or Piers

 

are you talking about Industrial Injection in Utah??

 

Yeah, they sell some modified s-300 turbos

 

HTT is also in Utah.
Midvale to be exact.

Spitting distance from my abode.

sounds like I better start saving my money.

I bought my comp drag from Industrial Injection. I guess I will be talking to them to see what they have that will work best for me.

Is a new turbo the only way to lower EGT's or is there a cheaper fix in the mean time?


What does HTT stand for?? I want to look them up

 

How mush boost you seeing? I don't see mentioned in your sig if you turnbuckled your wastegate or not. If you're using the stock turbo (HY9) and are not turnbuckled, you're blowing off alot of extra boost you could be using to cool EGT's down some. Just a thought.

 

I dont know what turnbuckled means can you explain what it is?
I do have a spring on the waste gate. It was on when I bought the truck, could this be what your talking bout

I was seeing 36psi or so, it's hard to look at the guage when in 5x5 cause i'm haulin so much a$$ that I'm watching the egt and the road instead

 

36 psi is all your gonna effectively get out of your turbo. It's time to step up to something around an HX40 size.

 

can I still tow with a HX40 turbo?

 

Don't see why not. It is going to be laggier than your factory turbo but it shouldn't be to bad.

 

Good Towing turbo....
You can also look at one of the HTT upgrades...you can make your current turbo a 35.. with a hx40 compressor wheel, and housing.. for about 200.... Good Luck,
