No first turbo, been building engines for over 20yrs thoughThis has been really impressive. Did you have a background in working with Turbo's?
Is the turbo setup you have pulling exhaust from both sides or just one? Do you know the same question for the 6.7? From simple engineering I would think if the answer is the same for both the 6.2 would spit out 92% (6.2/6.7) of the exhaust volume of the 6.7 at a given rpm and therefore should be spinning the turbo decently well. Line losses could explain some differences but your plumbing looked pretty unrestricted. Any exhaust leaks pre turbo or intake leaks post turbo?Well, went out again, kept it in the dirt so I don't leak oil everywhere, just not building boost, even with the wastegate locked out. I'm thinking this 6.7 turbo is too big for the old tired 6.2
So I have it setup like the d-max, each header has one up-pipe,each up-pipe goes to it's respective exhaust hookup on the turbo. Only difference is my driver side up-pipe goes under the truck then up to the turbo, it's longer than the d-max. I don't see any leaks around my gaskets. The plumbing is very unrestrictive, the exhaust just has the downpipe right now, no rear pipe or muffler. I think I need to check the intake side for boost leak. Just seems odd, it's spooling at idle, but not spooling up during driving or building boost.Is the turbo setup you have pulling exhaust from both sides or just one?

Your cartridge might be mismatched. Try a smaller unit.Well, got the new CDR in, got it rerouted, oil leak fixed. Took it out, still not building boost, I can get like 4psi flooring it, super sluggish, not much faster than stock. I might chock this up to a failed experiment. I'll prob put it back to stock in the fall, triple digits are way too hot to work in...
Ya, I'm thinking the turbo itself is just too bigYour cartridge might be mismatched. Try a smaller unit.
Haha, ya, my wife hates having all my buckets sitting in her parking spot on the driveway haha looking at getting a wrecked Charger next week, she knows about it but isn't too excitedCool project! If my wife came out and policed the completion of projects I would be in serious trouble! Some projects have conveniently been hidden from view!
