ALUMINUM STARTS TO MELT @ 1220*
Yeah but I figure if I'm 1100 or so on the flats. It's gonna melt down if I go up any hills. Sounds like conservative fixes for me would be to recheck seals and look for any boost leaks. Get an intercooler and possibly an upgraded pump and injectors set. Agreed? Maybe gearing isn't as necessary if I can do all that. I just don't want to waste money and not see any gains.1200 is a safe max. Ever driven a modern diesel with gauges...they will be 1200+ stock. I have personally seen 1100-1200 for hours on one of these with no issues.
with a non wastgated turbo, a hill just adds more resistance, just creating more boost...keeping egt in check. I have personally had 4 of those turbo kits (one on my truck right now) and have never had troubles with high egt with maxed pumps and heavy loads.
I don't know that I have ever had to back out of the throttle because of egt...coolant temps are another story.
do you have a shroud?
As others have said, checking for leaks on both the intake and the exhaust side will help to make sure that you're getting the most out of your turbo. Any boost leak or any exhaust leak between the cylinder head and the turbo can adversely affect how the turbo builds up boost. An intercooler is free power, and if you decide to go with a Cummins swap, you can (and should) still run the same intercooler; you'll just need to redo the piping.Yeah but I figure if I'm 1100 or so on the flats.

On the exhaust side, the big trouble spots are the exhaust manifold gaskets, the gaskets where the exhaust manifolds connect to the crossover pipes, and especially the slip fittings on the pipes going up from the crossover pipes to the exhaust housing "snail" on the turbo. Those slip fittings are a cast-iron bear to get to seal up properly, speaking as a fellow ATS 088 owner.That's what I wanted to find out. I guess I'll start looking into those things. My exhaust system is new. I guess I need to go through gaskets or o-rings in the turbo system as I ad an intercooler.
I put the stock one back on I thought about that couldn't see how to ad any. It did look as if it was leaking a tad. Hopefully new one works!I can't help you with the tires, but if you still end up having issues with the fan clutch I would add some oil to it. It really does help.
I wish you were closer, I could help you put the gears inI put the stock one back on I thought about that couldn't see how to ad any. It did look as if it was leaking a tad. Hopefully new one works!
As for the gears I'm hoping someone can chime in. I can't afford any swap fur quite a while so if gears can help this motor do what I need it's my cheapest option right now at about $1600. Unless anyone has a free cummins or dt360 for me. Haha!
