LBZ: danville 2.5 turbo??

i know its nothing to do with the turbo, just didnt kow if the stock pump would hold rail pressure like it needed to with a larger turbo over stock one
Turbo has nothing to do with rail pressure at all. You could put a massive turbo on a truck with a hurt stock pump. Rail pressure will not be effected until you change the tuning.
yes im asking if i go to a 2.5 will it be beneficial, my stock pump is in good shape... just trying to make sure that im taking the right path
I don't have as much experience as some other guys, but more air is always a good thing, if you have enough fuel to spool it. Which I'm certain you would.
stock fueling can always use more air. you have enough stock to overdrive the turbo quite a bit.
please dont use rail pressure as reference, all you doing is confusing us. if your at max pulse width and your not dropping rail pressure, a bigger turbo will take advantage of the fuel your stock turbo cant clean up (and yes, you will have too much fuel for the stock turbo to clean up)

I had that same exact turbo. I honestly HATED IT, but there is a story behind it that I won't go into, in the end it was my fault for not knowing what I was buying/mis communication from the seller.
Stock fuel spools it right up as it still has a stock inducer size, (63.5mm) with a 94mm exducer, modified vanes and IIRC a 67mm 10 blade turbine wheel with some exhaust housing machine work done to it. Spools up like stock but does need vane position changes to make it spool right because of the modified vanes. Mark has said that turbo is capable of right around the 700 HP range while still being work stock legal.

Yeah I still have black smoke. I could go bigger than 2.5 because they don't tech the trucks like they should,and they let people get away with it but ima keep mine legal, no matter what you do people will always talk haha
I guess this is kind of like "I know your cheating because I'm cheating your beating me". Its cool your keeping it legal though.
You can say that again! I got a little worried on the side lines when I saw Brian Jelich's truck in the stock class. NC12V, you just have to do what you have to do, here is a little film to study.
