This has just started hitting some of the other boards. Did not see it
mentioned here so I thought I would copy this information. This post was from
Wicked R/T on the Dakota-Durango board. Looks promising.

<<Ok, i got a little info for you guys. This was posted on the Delphi R/T board
by the owner of the truck that is in the pictures:
Hi all,
I don't hang out much on the Delphi board, but there seems to be a
lot of talk about the truck over there.
I would like to address some of the issues on this forum in hopes
that one of you computer gurus can forward it their way.
First off: I had no idea Turbo Tech. was going to post photos of the
system and of my truck on the internet. We had talked about making a
kit available to 5.9 owners, but they did not mention to me about
advertizing it on their website.
Secondly: They are misrepresenting this system because they do not
mention the fact that the fuel system is modified, along with the
block. That will be corrected on their website soon.
Turbo Technology has spent considerable time and effort into designing and
mocking up a system for our trucks. They wanted to
make sure every detail was right before releasing it. They also
wanted to be sure it would run with a MP PCM (not custom flashed).In
fact, they actually had it working with the stock PCM. But it hits
the rev limiter too fast and shuts off the fuel. All parties
involved with the build agreed that we wanted it to work right first,
before saying anything about it. That is the reason for me not saying
too much. I'm still in the early stages of testing on the street, but
so far it DOES work!
This system is available in different versions, with different boost
levels. You can custom order any boost level from 5 - 19 lbs. Your
boost will dictate your motor build... and will also dictate your
fuel requirements. George at TT has assured me he can make a version
that requires less mods... Your boost level will be lower though.
This system comes with a T4E60-1 turbo, which is rated 250-650 hp,
depending on where you wastegate the boost. Right now, it runs a 10
lb spring with variable boost control set at 0. I will be able to
turn it up to 14 lbs. with this block. The intercooler is by
Precision Industries and is rated for 600+ hp.it runs on 92 octane, and believe
it or not, the boost retard is set at 0... No detonation.
No Duner..... The dyno was not marked with a crayon.... It's as
real as real gets. There is no end in sight on the power curve... We stopped
the dyno just before hitting the rev. limiter... As a matter of fact, it spun
the tires on the dyno several times. It took a few tries before it stuck.
The bottom end was modified to handle 600RWHP and withstand at least
14 lbs. of boost. The comp. ratio is 8.49 to 1. I run a puny 50mm TB on top of
a 4bbl M-1 manifold, into stock heads with a mild exhaust port only. It runs
what I would consider to be an RV cam. Not much lift, not much duration, and a
stock centerline. The valve geometry has all been modded to handle 6500+ rpm.
It runs 1.7 rockers.
The secret is not necessarily the tuning, although that's part of
it... The big secret here is the intercooler. It's friggin
unbelievable... On the street, the truck is wild at half throttle.. NO BS...It
hasn't been to the track yet. We find out Wed Nite.
I hope this cleared up some rumors :0)
Anyways... For you serious HP junkies, this is just another way of
making serious power.
C'mon out to Pacific Raceways and join me Wed. night! Let's find out
what a turbo can do. Oh, and pray to the traction gods for me, eh?
