I TALKED TO A GUY THAT HAS A DUALLY AND SAID HE CHANGES OUT THE STOCK TURBO ON EVERYTHING HE BUYS? HE SAID HIS 2003 DUALLY ALL MOST DOUBLED IT MPGs WHEN HE DID THIS? IM WONDERING IF ANY ONE CHANGED THERE TURBO ON A LMM AND SEEN THERE MPGS GO UP DRASTICLY ALSO? I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT TURBO YOU BOLTED ON AND WHAT RESULTS YOU GOT?

Ask him if your Mileage doesn't Double, if he'll give you Cash in the amount of what the Turbo cost.

I was thinking this might be BS? Because everyone would be changing there stock turbo then. I wll be seeing this guy latert his week to get my tires changed and see what kind if turbo and how many lbs it pushes over stock. He claims he's getting 18-22 while towing his race car in an inclosed trailer?

When Fire0012 changed to a 4094 turbo he got several MPG improvement. He did a test with several other diesels for one of the diesel magazines, and he was getting 27mpg driving like a grandma. I have heard some people see 15-20% improvement when switching from VVT to a non VVT turbo. I am putting twins on my truck, and am hoping to see a little improvement. Time will tell.

What kind of mileage are you seeing on highway towing and not towing? I drive about 75 mph on the highway on average?

Wow, I would have thought you would be getting a little better than that? Did you take the DPF off also? I get a constant 18 mpg and up to 20 on highway not towing. Thats with my meth kit also. Im at about 17.5-18 on highway without it.

With a good turbo setup single or twin you should see gains in MPG.
