AFE Torque Tube

[Rosco]

StephenThomas,



I would bet that if you bought the torque tube and later on changed to a different size turbo you could get a new bottom hose for the turbo from one of the different hose manufacturers out there.

I will try this again!

QUESTIONS STILL NOT ANSWERED....

Will this torque tube work with the scotty III ?



Will this torque tube work with an aftermarket turbo?

Well I didn't use the HUGE picture but yea, you've got it.

I just wish TAG worked with the Torque Tube!!!!!!!

 

[MMeier]

I thought the TAG was supposed to work with the torque tube, anyone hook up both yet ?

 

[SRadke]

I was told by Dave @ Diesel Power Products this afternoon that it does not work with the TAG. Does the TAG just stick out too far where the torque tube has already begun to bend up?

Ok, I just got through installing it. Took it for a little ride... first impression... the turbo sound is ridiculous! I still have my silencer ring in, I don't think I'd be able to handle any more whistle than this. That's just me anyway.



On that note, I'd like to ask something. Forgive me if it's a ignorant/dumb question.



With the exception of removing the silencer ring, is the audible level of the turbo directly correlated to the amount of air it is receiving? And is the amount of air it receives directly correlated to how quickly it spools up?

 

[SRadke]

Not exactly. The audible sound is more attibutable to the amount of turbulence in the air. If the air flow was perfectly smooth, no matter the volume you would not hear it. This is physics.



With that said I personally don't see how you could have more turbulent air (more noise) from a smooth tube instead of the rippled factory tube. Perhaps it is more due to breaking up the sound waves exiting the pipe?



On a side note I asked a horsepower guy once why the inside of an intake manifold on a gasser is rough textured and often have waves cast in. It seems to me if high air flow is the goal it should be polished smooth. His answer was "you need a certain amount of turbulance to keep the gas suspended in the air". I had never thought of that. This does not apply in teh diesel situation.

Just installed mine and got back from a little test run. I left my silencer ring in, and the whine from the turbo appears to be a little less then the stock tube did without the silencer ring. The TAG does not work with this tube because it is larger in diameter then the rubber sleeves used with the torque tube. When idling I can hear air flowing into the air filter itself where as before I could not . Some more driving is in store to see what I think overall, might even throw the trailer on the truck and see what happens, at this point I may go back to the stock tube and TAG set up!

well,,,,,,,,,howz this float u boat



got the hpc treatment. and on the dd mb103 trbo as well. and also on the pipe that goes to intercooler. looks *****en this hpc treatment is also inside the pipes.



thanks to ken jones at diesel performance of utah Oo.

Hey Muddy, is that the Torque tube or the tube that comes with DD's airbox?



-Scott

 

[MUDDY]

scott, i undrstand it be the trqtube from afe. i have the afe airbox with my dd turbo. the tubes to the intercooler are from dd



i got the whole setup from ken. had to use a plasma cuter to modify a botttom corner of the afe box to allow clearance to the intercoolr tube



slick setup imo

 

[XcumminsX]

still owndering if the torque tube will work the the scotty III...



Nick

 

[banshee]

I don't think it will... the Scotty is pretty long and bends the stock intake tube at a sharper angle than the torque tube is designed for.

thanks
