Dieselnookie, please don’t hijack my thread with your project. Make your own thread. Might want to check your pictures, because not everyone has photobucket and the pics are dead. Thanks.

My apologies to you Fat Guppy I am somewhat new to The Message Board world and simply assumed that this thread was for anyone who is trying to do modifications to their engine. As far as what happened to my pictures that has me a bit stumped since they were working fine for my self, the two po,s of the donor truck and several other friends who I had verify that the links worked correctly . All this was working well until only a few hours ago not quite sure what has happened here . I will put some of my more net savvy friends on it and see if they can help me make it all work right .
[ Edit : after making a few quick inquiries to some friends of mine who spend much more time on the internet than I do, I have come to realize that Photobucket was not a good choice for image hosting since they are apparently now an evil greedy Corporation who will allow you to upload all of your pictures to their servers then hold them for ransom, if you want to be able to use them for third-party hosting you will then be required to pay $300 per year. So now Photobucket gets none of my attention at all. On to Imagur. /Edit]
I will also start a different thread.
Thanks.

No worries, Matt. It's always better to have your own thread so others can search for info easier. A thread that contains everyone's projects gets messy after a bit. Have fun!

In the case of turbos cooling or not cooling enough is more based on how much (or not enough) air they move. Underpowered and over powered turbos produce the same results, but by different means. Having an under powered turbo just helps increase fuel mpg by adding a bit more air, nothing extravagant. But people see this and think it is made for racing (Saab anyone?) and they try to beat the horsepower out of it. This results in more stress to the engine and turbo, higher EGTs because it wasn't made for racing, not to mention the oil consumption on the turbo.
On the other hand oyu have people that will try and put an over sized turbo on a small car, mess with the exhaust gate to spool up faster (and longer) and when you compress the air into the cylinder you heat it up before combustion is even started. This increases your EGTs with little power gain, so they beat the horsepower on this as well.
On my 2000 Ford F-250 is a 7.3L Turbo Diesel. Ford decided to be neighborhood friendly and places the smallest turbo that would function on it. The guy that had it first placed a Banks wastegate on it to pop at 34 PSI instead of 14 (I believe). This causes my turbo to work harder, but my EGTs don't skyrocket because the turbo is within the range of being directly proportional to the size of the engine, granted on the lower range. If I was to rebuild the turbo and replace it with a Wicked Wheel turbine, I would start seeing my EGTs fluctuate under hard loads because I would be packing more air (causing it to heat) but have more power. Whereas if I drove it like the daily driver it is, I would feel the response and see the fuel mileage change along with a lower EGT under small loads (merging with traffic, hot rodding it a short distance).
So in short the more effective your turbo is and if it is sized right, you will have some really low EGTs, making it to small or to large will have negative effects. Also your stage of turbo (spool up time) is directly related to how you drive. Smaller ones are great for low speed needs (merging into traffic going uphill, faster off the line) while larger ones will help meet your power needs at higher speeds (like hauling a fifth wheel trailer full of cattle) for long runs.
