...will a Cummins run without a turbo?? Being a firm believer in Private Murphy, I was thinkin if you're out in the middle of nowhere and you're turbo goes belly up (in a manner that doesn't trash anything else, of course), can you run without a functional turbo? I figure you'd have to git at least the compressor blades out of there, or would you?

Just something that hit me a moment ago and I know it will bother me (even though I unfortunately won't have the opportunity to actually be out in the middle of nowhere cuz of where I'm stationed )

I drove mine 1/2 mile on manifold only. It was extreamly loud. You would be suprised how much the turbo muffles the sound.

 

You'd Also Have to do some Oil Line Plugging

 

I did and now I keep the plug in the console in case of emergency.

 

I just realized where you were from! No wonder no one complained about the racket! ( J/k ) If you ever get up this way give me a shout! Its rough up here, I can roll a small cloud without some florida millionaire retire calling the law on me!

 

I was wanting to make the dyno day earlier this year but the twins were only 2 months old. Got next years on the calinder tho. Need to talk Poole into hosting one at his new shop we have a membership at a campground about 10 miles from there.

 

Thats the Plan, He's talking about getting his dyno in, But I'm trying to convince him to put it on a trailer! Theres been one in the works down there for a while now!

 

One of these days I'll dyno mine. Wanting to see where I'm at before I add any more upgrades. Maybe after christmass I'll get it done.
