While I agree that numbers would validate it more but you really can tell that it is making awesome power even without a dyno to verify. I mean you don't need only dyno numbers. 0-60 times are anotherindicator as well as the 45-90 runs that he has done. I mean look how that needle just jumps up to 90mph. It takes some power to get a heavy truck up there that fast...

If he wants to provide more then just dyno numbers, I'm ok with that to. The numbers alone are a good start though, and will tell me what I need to know for the most part.

I stand corrected. It is water-cooled and the oil is the lube. My bad... :D

Whats nice about water cooling is it keeps the cartrage (and the oil there in) much cooler under heavy load. Oil change intervals can theoretically be extended slightly (it gets damn hot in there when pumping 1200 EGTs!), and cooldown times are drastically reduced after a hard run. Time between turbocharger overhauls is also increased.

I have some water cooled center housings but never got around to doing anything with them. Its nice to see someone finally put one on an IDI.

There is also a slight drop in intake air temperature.:thumbsup:
