[maine dmax]

Anyone tryed the Bd turbine diverter valve? Seems like a good idea if it works, tryed searching but found nothing thanks.

They work on the lower Rs. You gain nothing on top if your using the same size exhaust housing and foot.

Paul , have you looked at the "quick spool valve" . iirc E.D. sells it , maybe not . do a search on compd , there is a thread talking about them

We have used them on 6.0 and 6.4's with bigger singles since they don't spool turbos very well. They do help but at a cost. The ones we use are fully open at 14 psi

theyre just a quick spool valve that looks cool, like stated theyre used in 6.0's quite often with larger singles to help spool.

what do you mean "at a cost " ? as in money or hurts performance in other ares of the rpm?

theyre expensive, the BD valve is like $700 for the kit.

You get what you pay for with the spool flanges. Sound Performance makes on that you can make work on a DMax and it warped (at a cost of over $400). I tried another prototype (not from BD either) and the small button head cap screws that were used to attach the diverter valve to the shaft did not survive the exhaust gas temp (although the rest of the unit did just fine).

The spool flanges do a nice job of spooling a large wheel/AR housing. Material selection and workmanship are worth the investment. Just my opinion.

exactly, the BD stuff is worth it for the quality alone.

Southern diesel makes one too, its $550, but the BD piece is still much nicer and worth the extra coin.

thanks for the input guys , I dont need one personally . my 66 spools pretty fast , but I like to learn and see what others have experienced .
