yes, we are still learning the edc 16 
at the moment very limited due to the max turbo pressure limits.
Fuel consumption is amazing, dropped 2L every 100KM.
I cannot hit the throttle full because of the tune, but it moves very well!!

Awesome, looking good. Thanks.
I wish I could get my hands on one of the turbos. I thought of going compound turbo because I could get an atmosphere turbo (hx40) and weld up my own piping for lot cheaper than what one of those turbo's would cost me to be sent to the US and the required tuning.

Adding a turbo without fuel = no use

Thanks, I agree. I am running a Custom Spooling hot tune. It disables the dpf and egr. I have a custom pipe in place of the dpf so I can go back to stock if need be.
I am not sure how much more fuel I can get out of these stock injectors. I still have much to learn about these engines. The Jeep currently will not blow any black soot. My F250 truck has upgraded injectors and will blow quite of bit of black soot, but they are a little big for my current turbo. I limit that with tuning.

Intake manifold is very bad, only the sixt cilinder has good air.
The High pressure pump is ok up to 330 HP untill now.

That's good to hear about the injectors. The intake manifold looks like it wouldn't flow much air. I would like to pull the manifolds and remove the swirl valves and weld up the linkage holes. That might help some? Sounds like air flow is the big restriction to make power with the proper tuning. Thanks.

We have thought about the swirls but then you would need to delete the swirl valve control map in the software... ?

I would appreicate some pictures of the intake manifolds. 
A real turbo intake would be sweet. I am looking into the swirl motor removal.
If I can convince my wife to allow me to purchase a second one of these Jeeps I might look into welding up a real intake. This Jeep is my wife's so I don't get to play with it as much as I would like, but I won't allow her to drive around a slow stock diesel vehicle. When I drive it I want some performance. I am trying to upgrade all the reliability issues with this engine.

I now just did the turbo, EGR delete, cat delete & dpf delete, Rub87 tune & turbo upgrade and now it's becoming nice

Are there any cylinder head bolt issues if the engine is tuned to the limit of the high pressure pump? I am used to diesel trucks here in the US that when running hot tunes need cylinder head studs to limit head gasket issues. I would like to get my hands on one of the turbo's you are using. I saw the mechanical issues earlier in the thread and those seem manageable.

Thanks, that’s good to know. Keep up the good work. I disabled the EGR as soon as I could. I have a block off plate that I need to install. I can't stand EGR on diesels, it causes so many problems. Do you think it’s worthwhile to gut the cat? I delete the dpf, but not sure if the restriction in the cat is worth it. What do you think?

EGR, I did block of plate and deleted in the software, no problem there, have just some isues finding the DPF map
I think everything in the exhaust after the turbo is bad, I gutted the cat to.
No problems with head bolts or head gasket untill now...
I am looking for a turbo for someone else but they are expensive... Ball bearing water cooled, sweet, spools as fast as the original.

Since the EGR is water cooled, blocking the exhaust side with a metal plate is any good? off course it need to be also software deleted, but what about the water circuit and etc, it will still flow trough the EGR or it have any electronic valve to open the circuit?
PS: about the exhaust, I noticed that all new V6 engine models have two exhaust and mufflers at the rear, mine only have 1 on the driver side, and a big one (AMG on my case) but the new ones have one on each side and with a smaller muffler. Is this better also on diesel cars or is only for the looks?
I know it can flow better, but more weight also...

About the intake manifold subject, I already thinked about it but didn't know about the 6th cylinder thing.
The "new" engine also have bigger intake and air filters box, in my case I have one of each side, and on Jeep you only have one, what could be better?

I think the standard airbox is big enough, untill now I didn't see any problems with not getting enough air.

Diesel2fast4u,
The cummins are sweet. My dad has one and a couple of buddies. I am just a Ford and Jeep guy. I hope to install my egr block off plate. The wife is not a fan of not driving her vehicle every day. So if I can get some time I will install that plate and gut the cat while I am at it. I would like the turbo, but they are probably too expensive for budget at the moment. The turbo does sound like the cat’s meow. I wish they were on a vehicle in the states. Would any other 2260V turbo work that might not be water cooled? How are you doing on the dpf map? Are you going to do any intercooler upgrades?
