Not another Upgraded Turbo Thread!

No, the cfm @ 10 psi on small turbos is not the same cfm @ 10psi on a larger turbo.
As far as fulling goes. We have been dataloging our truck for about 6 months and the fuel pump is at 47% duty cycle. I see a lot of people saying that it is starting to max out, and I do not disregard what they are saying, but it seems the actual pump is okay. Maybe it can't go above 47%, maybe it will, but at 15psi on stock turbos we are fine. Maybe something else is limiting the flow, but we will find out.
Also, I spoke to my manufacture, the turbos are smaller than the 2860, so I don't really have a comparison right now.
My truck is maxed on the stock pump at 20psi on the stock turbo. I can assure you fuel will be an issue. But I look forward to your build

As far as the 10 psi comment, psi is actually just a reading of restriction in the manifold, you free up flow, better intake, exhaust, etc and not touch boost and you will actually lose a couple psi because the air is not backing up as much. What Mat was trying to say was, at the same shaft speed the upgraded turbos will flow quite a bit more air. Meaning you can work them less to provide the same airflow over stock.
I am anxiously waiting.

Hey bro, no judgement here. I was hesitant to post this, but I like to learn, and I'm pretty sure that you guys like learn too, don't be afraid to post stuff. So, we will use these turbos to learn what the EB can and cannot do. Maybe the fuel system wont take more than 20psi? It's an opportunity to find out and solve that problem. I don't mind working this out in community, warts and all. However, I think it will be epic, these turbos exist, will be put on a truck and the results will be shared.

^^^sweet, well if you have another set you want someone to try. I'll throw a set on, too--Hahaha.
This is going to be big deal for a lot of reasons.

Can't wait to see results of this! Hopefully these are at least close to production, I'm tired of all the talk about we're doing this and that and months go by with nothing.
