Hello all:
I have a question that is most likely stupid, but i'm dumb so i'm going to ask it anyhow.
I've read Pat's posts about "which turbo is right for me", and i think for what i want to do - the GT 4094 is what i'd go after from his advice and what i've read.
I "try" to race the truck every now and again at the track, and about every saturday on the streets. However, like most, it's a dual purpose dually
I have a 42' toyhauler i pull with it as well, and EGTs are somewhat of a problem, even with stock tuning. So, for all these things i'm getting ready to do a turbo.
Now for the fun part. My brother works at a very large company - Detroit diesel. He works at a plant where they build (and rebuild) just about everything diesel you could ever imagine... including all sorts of Garrett turbos. And after hitting up a buddy of his that's over the turbo 're-man' department, apparently i can get one "cusotm built" if i provide the specs. I'm sure i could get the standard 4094 no problem if that's all i wanted, but since the opportunity has presented itself - and apparently presented itself somewhat cheaply - i'm wondering if Uncle Pat and anyone else might have some ideas on what i "should get" or if 'custom built' really doesn't mean anything at all for my application? It would seem that if it's really possible to 'tweak' one of these things, some of you here might have some excellent ideas on what could be done to maybe reduce low end lag without losing top end, etc. etc. etc. I would think if this pans out, for somebody out there this could be a dream come true to have one built to suit... so, how would you have it built?
Any input greatly appreciated, as well as all advice on "what" i'd need to tell them for the application (T3 or T4 pedestal, etc. etc.... remember, i'm dumb and would end up with a turbo that could only run a freight train).
Thanks!!!
