Not the worst one I’ve seen but you did some pretty work there sir. Any pieces make it into your Intercooler?
Catastrophic turbo failure - 72mm Danville performance- Now what?
- Thread starter Papapark
- Start date
Yes.
Reinstalling stock turbo and intercooler to verify nothing else is wrecked....... if we are good to go, it'll see a stainless diesel 9 blade.
I will say I've beat the hell out of two different DDP turbos the last few years, one in a twin setup and one in a single and they hold up. My current one has 50k hard miles on it
Personally I'd run a JZ 68/68 4094 with high flow vanes (think of a Danville 68 Stage 2R 4094).
Ever since DDP started to use nothing but Chinese turbos as a base we've had a few issues, before that we had zero problems. Is it due to the aftermarket base castings? No clue. Not that we've had tons of issues, we just went from having none yearly to maybe 3-6 a year.
I would also advocate for staying away from anything 9 blade as there are still lingering issues out there that I wouldn't want to have.

I just put one into a customers truck replacing a Wold 65mm.................... It runs so much better. Was a 65 3794 with a smaller turbine/488 now its a 68 4094/488 and it makes much more power and honestly the drivability didn't change much (Goerend R).
