OM606 Turbo Selection for Truck application
OM606 Turbo Selection for Truck application
And yeah- tough to do a good comparison. Best I can do is- I can start in and hold 2nd gear from a stop. When I do this, within 1 second my RPM is upto 1600 RPM and boost is over 20 PSI. There's a good puff of black smoke but in 1 second I go from 750 -1600 RPM. I don't even know if the smoke limit table is pulling fuel in that 1 second span. I can tell you the VNT feels night and day different to the original KKK and under 4200 RPM the truck feels fantastic.
I do have some pics but not many. I'm busy and lack the time/patience to document as you did.
Also- I struck out finding maps for OE VNT turbo's. I struggled to find a GT2359 off of a OM648 so when I saw an ad in Europe for " Good Turbo with Bad actuator off a 3.0 Mercedes Turbo diesel"- I bought it on the spot hoping it was the 2359. When it arrived and I got the numbers off it is when I realized it was the newer smaller VNT of the V6 Turbo diesel. I figured I had it so I tried it. All in all, I'm still using it and don't feel pressed to change it but above 4200 RPM, it is a problem. I don't operate there unless I'm towing heavy and encounter a long hill- which does happen but otherwise, I do like it.
Sorry, no build thread. I did have to modify the turbo by welding on the matching 606 exhaust flange and clocking it but it mounts just like the om606 and om648 turbo.
