Compounds Vs. Single Turbos

Is this episode going to irk some listeners? Probably. Or it will provide you with your confirmation bias. Either way, we've got some hot topics to discuss on this episode. Which topics are they? Is horsepower ruining diesel trucks? Are deleted trucks overrated? What is ruining diesel culture? There are more issues we'll talk about. Chime in with your thoughts; leave a comment!

We had the pleasure of having Justin Hildebrand of JH Diesel & 4 x 4 take time out of his busy schedule and talk about everything diesel with us! Justin and the boys discuss wild truck builds, running a diesel business, documenting it all on his YouTube channel, and what it takes to build wild trucks that perform, handle abuse, and entertain the masses. Don't miss this episode; it's a fun one!

If you haven't seen the news (how have you not?) Edge has dropped the CTS4, and it is badass. We got to mess around with the new CTS4 in our trucks, in shop trucks, and enjoy all the new features it has available. That's why we have Jacob White of Edge Products is here to discuss everything about the Edge CTS4 on this episode! He discusses the progression the Edge CTS has gone through since it's inception, how they developed the newest CTS4, and so much about the new features. We do a deep dive into the Edge CTS4 right here; take a listen!

We often get asked what new buyers should look out for when purchasing a used 2011-2016 LML or 2017 or newer L5P Duramax. The boys decided to discuss what red flags to pay attention to, what is an instant purchase, and more tips. The boys also discussed the new L5P Y-Bridge that WCFab just launched. Tons of info on this product and it's wild. Check it out!

We got back from the WCFab Open House and saw so many badass high horsepower trucks throwing down huge numbers on the dyno that it got all three of us thinking; do I really need 1,000 horsepower? The boys discuss the fun of it, what it takes to get there, and the practicality of a diesel truck that powerful. See what Anthony and Chris had to say here!

Anthony and Chris are back to tackle a topic we often get a ton of questions about: compound turbo kit or single turbo? The boys figured why not bring Nick Priegnitz, Stealth Turbos creator, back on to discuss this topic. We tackle the value of each setup, what works for certain driving styles, and a ton more. Class is in session on turbos!

We have a mid-week bonus episode! The boys wanted to get Nick Priegnitz, founder of Calibrated Power/Duramaxtuner, into the podcast to discuss what he and they think of the initial numbers and news on the 8.3L Duramax L6P "Mongoose." They chat about the insanity of the new displacement, what Nick expects to see out of the aftermarket industry, and a hot take on what Nick sees as a miss by the engineers over at GM. There's a ton to talk about on this one. Listen in and give us some of your thoughts on our social channels! What do YOU think about the new 8.3L Duramax? 

Anthony and Chris got an episode that will get diesel enthusiasts talking. Which modifications are overrated or underrated? The boys discuss, argue, and debate how they feel about certain mods such as box tuners, intakes, rail plugs, lift pumps, and more! Drop us a comment and let us know how you feel about certain mods for diesel trucks!

You've probably seen the news; if not, we are going to discuss it in depth on this episode of the Diesel Performance Podcast. EZ Lynk and HP Tuners have eliminated the need to have an unlocked ECM installed. This means no more downtime, a significant cost drop, and no more ECM swaps! Anthony and Chris break down all the details, what this means for the future of tuning, and much more!

Chris and Anthony have a specific topic they want to discuss today. Lately, the boys have been fielding a lot of calls and questions regarding how sluggish and underpowered a lot of these big cab & chassis Cummins, Power Stroke, and Duramax trucks are. Many of these owners are purchasing these trucks for towing and hot-shotting larger loads long distances and notice just how much less they have in terms of power, acceleration, and more compared to the regular medium-duty diesel pickup trucks. The guys discuss exactly what they have seen in terms of what these stock cab & chassis trucks drive like and discuss exactly what they've seen others doing to them to solve the issue.
