Uhhh... yeah, where have I heard that before? Oh wait, that was me30 years ago. Once you start, you can't stop.
I know. We would settle around 50-52 lb/min since it was making 50lb/min on just 11 psi.

Me in my 20's. Wouldn't want to add up all the time and $ I put into that Camaro to run 10's NA.
Yeah I don’t want to know how much I’ve spent on truck mods. It is a ton.

I just realized my white 2.7 truck is running on stock tune with the raptor in tank pump haha. It runs great with it. I guess now we know the raptor pump will work on the stock 2.7 tune.

Good for 60hp bro

Some super cool stuff in the works. I messaged Jason at CVF a bunch today. He was asking me a bunch of questions etc.

I am going to be testing their inlet tubes soon and also gonna do a set of raptor downpipes, trombone loop and exhaust from them as well. Can’t wait to see it all put together. This is why I kept myself from getting a different exhaust because I knew i wanted the trombone exhaust, after having that on my 2.7 there is no turning back.

Welp, these used turbos are gorgeous. I did some unofficial measurements and inducer is 41.2mm and exducer is 53.9mm I am super confident on the inducer measurement I took, so if that is the case then they have gotten a tad larger over the 2018-2020 but not enough to make a huge difference.

dang, nice grab!!!!!!

So slight size difference & clearly a housing design differences.
Changes like this are not cheap to make, so it just boggles my mind wanting to know the reason Ford made the change.
The engineering, the re-tooling the supplier, the testing and validation.
There must be a reason, some improvement sought or deficiency avoided.

WHAT IS IT, FORD???

Matt went into the improvement with more detail in his Youtube video, electronic wastegate with stronger arms, relief ports in the pressure side to lessen pressure surging, elimination of the exhaust side adapters, possibly lighter weight that may lengthen the exhaust manifold life and the mounting studs.

Well one reason I know of was the wastegate design. I think they were trying to make something not so rattly. And maybe they deleted the turbo adapters and went to the 2.7s design because it’s better and also less restrictive. Since they didn’t change the turbo size as much, they did increase hp to 400 if you recall, so they probably redesigned the turbos for that reason.

I don’t know what you 13-20’ 3.5 guys see for boost in the upper Rpm’s, but I didn’t see more than 6-7 psi stock at redline. So it obviously makes 400hp with not much boost whatsoever. The stock tune tapers the boost down as rpm goes up.

I believe 18-20 had the surge ring too, I’m not sure if it looked the same though. But, it’s obvious they seemed to have redesigned the exhaust side mainly to sit closer to the engine perhaps helping the exhaust manifold warping issue?

Well, I couldn’t help myself. Since CVF is helping out exhaust wise and such for free, I pulled the trigger on Stage 3 upgrade from CRP

The goal of that purchase is
1. to dig into the truck and make videos on it, seeing any differences I can.
2. for the sound! Cuz who doesn’t love it
3. Cuz every build needs something cool
4. Not to make 600hp. This will be 500hp at the most. Basically shooting for 450 wheel because that’s what Brett’s ran forever.
5. to get content for YouTube

Can’t wait to hear these spooly bois. Anyway, CVF sent inlet tubes yesterday so we’ll be installing those bad units soon.
 
My 17 seen 16 psi max on a hard pull. GH tuning has that up to about 18. Probably less taxing on the cooling system that way!
