There are applications where a Gated holset on a isx works well. If you have high Duty cycle demands and constant heavy torque loads a VGT isnt for you.

I too never understood why people put that 171702 non gated borg on a highway truck. Only thing i can think of is its 1/2 the price of a HX60? i dunno

Wire the blue ox into the 3rd stage jake driver to power the relay that fires the blue ox. Dont put it directly behind the turbo use the little piece they sell that sets it back a few inches. If you haul heavy make sure you set your guillotine closing to be safe all around for manifold pressure. Dont run the butterfly ones as they always stick.

There are benefits for both VGT and gated straight turbos on ISX's. Just they have specific applications.

I have built, tuned, and been part of THOUSANDS of ISX engines. I do know what im talking about. first rule is learn some humility on people that are trying to help you, you wouldnt be here if you had it all figured out.

Thank you you've been very helpful this truck is not hiway application for the most part 90% offroad mountain driving not super heavy loads but lots of up and lots of down truck works and runs very well I just believe brakes are for stopping not slowing down so more engine brake is required
