i got a buddy at work that just bought a 05 stroker and wants to know what eveybody thinks about takeing the silencing ring out of the turbo if it a bad idea or what. allso was asking me about smoke switches i have no clue about them or how to do it. i think it kinda dumb but he wants to know how to do it if u guys have any web sites on how to do it

 

I think it has to be machined out and not worth it from what I hear...

As far as smoke switches, He will be much better off getting custom tunes for it.

 

The silencer ring removal on a 6.0 is a waste of time. As for smoke switches, it can be done and the information is out there. I refuse to help anyone with this nonsense though, he's the kind of guy who's ruining diesel motorsports for the rest of us. I guess I fail to see why it's so cool to have less power, blow smoke on everything in sight and destroy your turbo in the process.... what am I missing?

Welcome to the forum.

 

I agree with Mdub

 

Some people shouldnt be able to own a diesel truck, Mdub's right people like him are the reason the EPA is on our back about these trucks

 

Hey guys, lets help the new guy see the light, not bash him for asking some questions...

 

Not to stir the pot here but, i would like to hear more whistle outta my turbo if that did work
The smoke thing, no thanks but, i'm getting old

 

You can swap a 2003 6.0 turbo in there, thats about the easiest way... Otherwise you can go with aftermarket turbos that will give you a bit more.

Its just a sound however. The ring in the factory turbos is to reduce surge, has nothing to do with keeping anything quiet.

 

straight pipe ur exhaust, you'll hear ur turbo whistle

 

Sorry bout that it just gets old hearing them same questions asked all the time. The smoke switch crap will ruin the turbo as for the silencer ring your better of doing what CSIPSD said and getting an 03 turbo or a powermax
