does anyone know if the k26 that came off of these is wastegated?Im getting one here in a bit and i didnt see a wastegate.I was wondering if they used a bov or something.

Assuming it's a gas engine as I haven't seen any 5000 Diesels here, a gas turbo isn't going to work well on a Diesel as all the ratios are different, or so I've heard.

i know of the turbo diesel version of the gas turbo and i have seen one around here in the junk yards but i don't know about the wastegate, i am assuming it has one

i seem to recall them having an external wastegate... just remember seeing a pic somewhere on this site. i think Trev0rbr had the pic...

I got 5 K26's in the basment and all are without wastgate! some are water cooled and oil fed! and some are just oil fed! but for sure they require a external wastgate! I used one on my gasser caddy witch is a 1.9 stroker motor and it works quite well! but IMHO they are too big for a diesel unless you make a hybrid out of them?
thanks Duane

Isnt it just a matter of how much fuel you can throw at it?If i had fuel coming in early via. stiffer intermmidiate spring on a 10mm head.Would that not cut down on spool time?

Yeah, and you just can't through enough at a big turbo, plus it has more mass to get up to speed.
