    Upgrade Turbo and Chip?

    Hi everyone. Just joined the group.

    I have a 2015 Cummins 3500 6.7l. Cab and chassis.

    Here is my situation.

    My turbo just died.

    I have to replace it and I am thinking of why not putting in a modified one from the stock 54cm. To the 67cm and get more boost.

    Why not right? I should get more power more mpg etc.

    Now secondly I am thinking of plugging in one of those simple performance chips.

    It sounds like a good combination RIGHT?

    I will have all of the emissions on the rig and be legal.

    Now my concern is when I have more boost. From the turbo and the throttle valve closes then what?

    Should I just remove the throttle plate or what?

    Or am I just over thinking it.

    Welcome friend!

    Is it the turbo that died or the actuator?

    A lot of folks have been having issues with their actuators and not the turbo.

    It’s the turbo. I even changed the actuator. And it screwed the new one up also. Put the new one on the other day. And while it was off I just sat on a bucket and flipped the turbo arm back and forth for about a half hour. Hoping to free it up I didn’t work. I am leaving the wires off. Until I change the turbo. I really don’t want to buy a 3rd actuator

    Just curious was the replacement actuator stock or City Diesel?

    If stock did you calibrate it?

    Stock. And calibrated. The turbo is stiff from all the exhaust crap. Now back to the original question. They the throttle valve. Can I take the plate out so it can breath better?? Or will it cause more problems?

    Without a tuner you will go into limp mode friend.
