Title: I know I am about to be that guy.....

So here is my dilemma, 6.0 turbo (10 blade turbine for that sweet whistle) or a HE351.

Would the lil blackbox work for a 6.0 turbo? I can pick up one real cheap and would really love to get that 03 6.0 whistle but on my cummins.

Should I even bother with the 6.0 turbo? Or is a HE351 just an all around better option? I currently have 150hp injectors, boost fooler, built trans, and a fass system. So I would most likely modify either of these vgt turbos to get the most out of them.

Is the 6.0 a Holset VGT ?

The turbo on a 6.0 powerstroke is a Garrett, I believe they only have one connection to them, either 2 wire or 3 wire depending on year and it is a PWM signal. This is used to control the solenoid for the variable vanes and it is linear. I am still on the fence about which route to go, the sound of a 6.0 turbo would be amazing and I can find them extremely cheap, but I think I would get better performance out of the HE351. I would most likely upgrade them since I would rebuild them prior to use anyways.

Well the spare pin has pwm 🤷�♂️

If you wanna try and figure it out lol, no idea if that turbo has a shaft speed sensor and if it did best way to integrate it.

Sorry
