A Hunt For A Turbo
A little frustrated by not being able to find much for his new truck, Stafford started calling around the country to different manufacturers when he ended up talking with Industrial Injection, located in Salt Lake City, Utah. The owner Brady Williams loved the idea of a developing a turbo upgrade for the LML Duramax engine and was more than willing to work with Stafford to create the first one for this specific model. So Stafford got his truck from his home in Colorado and headed out to Utah the following week.
Developing the first one takes time, so the truck stayed at Industrial Injection for just over a month while they fabricated the pipe work to support the compounds. Industrial decided to build this kit around the BorgWarner S474.
"While they were busy with the fab work, Dustin, who is one of the techs at Industrial Injection, installed some ARP 625 head studs for me to help prevent the heads from rising under high boost," says Stafford, who is currently on active duty and is stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado. "They also made a slight modification to the injectors as well."
Weeks went by when he finally got a call from Williams letting him know his truck was ready and they were anxious for him to come get it so they could dyno it. The truck ended up with 553hp and 1103 ft/lbs. of torque, which was not too bad considering he was still turning 37s. He left Utah and headed back to Colorado, thrilled about the power.
