when did they put a wastegate on a VGT? or does this dual compressor turbo need one to bleed excess pressure from one of the compressors?
Ive also never heard a wastegate sound like that before....... like i said sounds more like the turbo vanes opening to release excess drive pressure when the engine slows down

I tend to agree with you on this Aaron. A good friend of mines LBZ does this too.

actually ford didn't just make a powerstroke with the 6.7. They called it the scorpion not a powerstroke.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your comment but "Scorpion" was the code name for the new motor Ford was building and the name "Powerstroke" is owned by Ford

I understand this, but ford isn't calling the 6.7 a powerstroke motor are they? All i was trying to say is that ford is calling the 6.7 a scorpion and not a powerstroke. That's all i was saying.
You can check here. http://www.fordvehicles.com/trucks/superduty/ Looks like they still are calling it a powerstroke and still have the powerstroke name in the side quarter panel emblem.

A few posts back someone referred to the engine as Scorpion and there was some discussion. Eric was posting the picture for clarification, I believe. Chris

Thanks Eric. It's clear that the new 6.7 is in fact a powerstroke then. I just don't understand what the deal is with the whole scorpion name. I also don't know why ford would call or give this new motor a name such as the "scorpion" and yet still call it a powerstroke. It just confusing why there are two names for this motor.![]()

Again, Scorpion was the name of the project. Not the engine. It never was the name of the engine.
For example. The Government had a project call "Manhattan Project". It had nothing to do with Manhattan, but were designing a Nuclear Bomb. Do ya get it now?

No problem.
Ford uses code names for all their projects, to hide them from the public. Terminator(03 Cobra), Hurricane(new Truck engine), Scorpian are just a few.
