Is anyone running a bw s256 on an Idi. I'm thinking about swapping one onto my banks kit but wanted to hear anyone's expirence a first
I only have one thing to say about turbos..... New Head Gaskets and Studs are a MUST! trust me..... The guys who have 100,000 on their stock gaskets and studs with a turbo install, they just got lucky
Yeah, your lucky..... 6 PSI of boost and mine were done..... How you getting that much boost of the turbo kit? Is it modified?
my truck has 150,000 and has had the banks kit on it since it was born in 93', installed by banks. never ahd the gakets or studs done
i remember someone saying they thought your fuel was up to high, might have had something to do with the failure you experienced but that turbo (if its a hypermaxx as i remember) should do 9psi not just 6 so you definitely had something out of the usual going on there.

whats the specs on the turbo? also is it wastegated non-wastegated? was it build for a different application? if so whats the application and size?
need more/better info to give a good opinion on it.
You completely dissabled the wastegate? how did you do that and what EGT's are you running?
Also what pump do you have?

I found an ats aurora 2000 (bw s256) with a t4 flange it so its a 56mm turbo which may be a tad small on the exhaust side.
Right now with the second gen banks kit I have the wastegate completely disabled I just clamped the actuator hose off. At 3000 rpm and 17-18 lbs of boost I am right at about 950 degrees
not pleased with the TE06h at 18 psi? those are good egts, do you pull anything, do you know your number pulling a trail/load/towing?
