Have a turbo from 6.2 engine. Had a full set of mainfolds and air intake. Is not the Banks unit. Turbo is stamped, "Roto-Master Hi -Flow, A/R 85". Which turbo is this, and how does it compare with the GM and Banks units. It does appears larger than the Banks turbo.

This post was placed in the 6.5 section on purpose. 6.5's have turbo's, most 6.2's do not. I would expect to get more answers from teh 6.5 people. Please return this post to the 6.5 section.

Moving this topic thread to the 6.2 forum was a judgement call - designed to help you. There are a lot of knowledgeable people in the 6.2 forum who know a good deal about 6.2 turbo systems. However, if you believe there are more or more knowledgeable 6.2 turbo people in the 6.5 forum, post it again.

Craig, If it is stamped with .85 A/R, the exhaust housing is similar to the second one that I am testing, which has a 0.84 A/R. But, I am intrigued by the fact that it is "larger"! I am guessing that the part that is larger is the intake compressor. If so, I am interested in seeing, and possibly testing, it. I will call you...I just found your contact info stuffed in the end of the headers you brought for testing. I saw the paper before, but never took it out and looked at it; I assumed it was a receipt as you said the headers were new. I am done with the headers and have them ready to return to you. The results of the test are posted on my "6.2TD engine experiment" string. I have a printed data/graph that I can show you, also. If you want to come by and see the engine on the dyno, I don't think John will mind.
