Call pacaar and ask those same questions and see what kind of bafoon answers you get.

The duralite is not junk as Rawze calls it, he has a very bias opinion based solely on his love for the isx engine and he is 100% correct when he says the duralite is not good for the vgt turbos..... the man knows his stuff.

But keep this in mind...... when and what they were built for before you judge.

They came out when the tuning big rig world was kicking up and high HP tuning was the new craze. PukeDits doing 700HP tunes etc. With any kind of tune on the older non vg engine's, they would just add more fuel which added more boost, add a bigger turbo etc etc etc. That's how it was done. The problem was the oem cac could not and still can not handle the stupid boost numbers these trucks were making. In comes duralite with a rock solid cac that can handle the job..... and it did.

I ran duralites on 3 of my trucks for years and loved them but they were 1999 to 2005 engine's.

Fast forward to today where guys like Rawze have changed the tuning game and geometry turbos play a huge part. You can now make 650HP without increasing boost pressure (well you always could..... but they didnt)

Now a restrictive yet bullet proof duralite is actually a bad thing. Doesn't change the fact that at what point they were good, because now they are all but obsolete.

Give credit where credit is due. They as a company have heard the complaints and adapted to survive by coming out with oem options that they claim are built better than oem and flow to specs. I don't crucify a company who learns and adapts, that would be like someone giving Rawze shi#t for a early version of mm that they don't like...... well it's obsolete now so..........

Not saying these new ones are good, I'm curious and gonna go to western star and compare but I just don't like to jump on the bash a company bandwagon.
