Holset VG turbo's are a solid product. they easily last typically 600k+ miles or more even under heavy use and high HP applications, and longer on trucks where they are well cared for. - Matter of fact, someone called me up today and said their has lasted 970,000 miles. -- There is nothing wrong with them except when they are abused or improperly programmed after a de-mandate has been done.

Your previous post clearly screams to everyone that The thing that likely killed your turbo(s) is the same exact repeating story of people with the typical bad-delete, turbo-killing programming that is all over the Internet these days. But ... you seem to have some kind of serious attitude and serious denial issues there, so there is no convincing someone that has been brainwashed in this bad-delete, turbo-killing garbage thinking attitude pig-headedness.

No one here is on here was trying to argue with you, your own posts point clearly to what some of your problems are and you chose to quickly argue it away, blaming hardware for piss-poor programming and sheer social-media-style of garbage ignorance due to some serious lack of proper education on this subject...

,,... Others on here are genuinely trying to help you understand that what your saying is actually incorrect... and for most highway applications,.. You sereusly are knocking that modern engine into the stone age by taking that Holset VG off the enigne. -- There are only very rare circumstances or applications that a non-VG would perform as well, and like others pointed out, an HX60 is usually the better choice over a Borg-weener.. So don't be so damn quick to dis-credit what others have said here... I will simply ban you for doing so because what they say has a lot of merit.

now,.. non-vg or not,.. your still likely facing bad programming in that thing, your earlier posts scra=eam at everyone this problem, it has been seen a hundred times on here, otherwise,.. A)> you would not have been so quick to dump that VG turbo that is well capable of handling any power settings of that engine when programmed properly. If you had to throw the VG off the truck because they kept failing, then that is a very clear sign that it was not programmed properly, and that the rest of your programming is just as bad...

The people here are trying to educate your obvious short-sighted view-point, nothing more. If you disagree then you are the one to suffer its fate, when your engine fails a few times and your pig-attitude costs you several tens of thousands of dollars a few times over in the next few years.

Lastly, I will simply ban your arsse if you continue to be so arrogant and ignorant, simply because I do not want others who do not know any better, or those trying to research this subject to follow the advice of this bad information you have spewed onto my forum... You have been warned.

here are some words of wisdome to chew on..../

This is all in the name of runing up the price of the delete with component sales and it stems from them being simply too stupid to re-program the Holset correctly to begin with. This is especially apparent when someone knows that the factory Holset turbochargers on the CM870/871can easily keep up with the engine well into the 800+HP range all on their own, and that even the smaller Holsets on the newer CM2250/2350 engines are well capable of 700+Hp. Even if someone was building an engine for competition, and exceeding these limits, a BIGGER VG HOLSET will still out-perform anything else out there.

-- My suggestion is that if you want ot know the definitive answer to weather or not you would actually benefit form a non-VG on a modern engine,.. you need to look at your lifetime engine load history in Insite. -- If the lifetime engine load is anywhere less than about 70-80%, then you loose by going NON-VG, and if it is down in the typical 40% range (or less) like most trucks in the USA,.. then you will loose out on tens of thousands in fuel losses every year because of what you have done, it is simple as that. - If you gained efficiency or mileage by taking off that Holset,.. THEN IT WAS CLEARLY PROGRAMMED INCORRECTLY!!! -- PERIOD!!!... BECAUSE BORG-WEENER HAS NOT MADE A TURBO THAT CAN ACTUALLY BEAT A PROPERLY PROGRAMMED HOLSET IN SEVERAL YEARS NOW!!! -- THIS IS FACT!!!, and it falls right back into that hole of bad programming you seem to have over-looked.
