Ok guys, just got the II 62/70 non vgt turbo installed (thanks Diesel Nut). I will break it down in every way possibe comparing to the stage II vgt I was running. I will also mention the non vgt tunes I got from Eric. One thing I can say is the sound is very different. Awsome idle sound and quiet. Quiet in the cab too....specially on the road

Under throttle, my 5" exhaust freaking comes alive. So let me to a comparison.

Idle: Vgt idled at 400 degrees and had slight haze..... 62/70 Idles at 375 degrees and no haze.

Drivability: Motor drove well with the vgt, pretty smooth under throttle and some vibration..... 62/70 drives really well, very very smooth under throttle and no engine vibration.

Freeway at 68mph: vgt ran at 800 degrees and 6psi.... 62/70 runs at 700 degrees and 0-2psi. Under slight throttle vgt accelerated a tad faster but rolling into the 62/70 was not bad at all. As far as pull goes, the 62/70 pulls 3 times as hard as the vgt did.

Sound: vgt had loud whistle and in cab noise....62/70 no whistle and quiet in cab..... which I like better...vgt under throttle from a stop...good spool and good sound.....62/70 decent spool (not much less) and awsome sound...hungrt deep sound. I like it.

I will get more drive time tomorrow, but so far I am very happy with it. Turbo definatley pulls harder than the vgt and makes the motor run alot smoother. I will post pictures and videos soon.

Now for the tune from eric...running the mild street...very nice... I have the extreme street and extreme race. Will try a tune with a tad more fuel, which will help with spool.

Subscribing... Hope you like it Jason...

and I know you'll love it when you have an S4 feeding it!

yes, they are two very different turbos... i am liking the non vgt 62/70. I think the 190cc inj are a perfect match. I will load the aggressive street in a few days to see if the more aggressive fueling spools fast....but so far I am happy with the spool time...not much slower than the vgt.....

how long did it take you to get you eric tunes i orderd yesterday but still nothing and did you ever get ahold of cale for those other tunes?

cale never got back to me...kinda pissed about that....called again... messages, talked to the lady up front...he is busy... numerous e-mails...guess I am getting screwed on this one..... Suck because the last time he was helping is was excellent... now total opposite. As for eric, took 3 days. Not bad. And i ran his vgt race before and now the non vgt tunes and both are spot on

. I think if I had to compare cales a 7-10 for shifting and 8-10 for power and eric is 10-10 on both.

O and by the way, went to get some stuff from the store after washing truck today.... Drove nice in town. Other than getting used to rolling into the throttle.... it runs very nice.... and when it starts to lite...it has a much strnger power band than the vgt did.
