What grade material did the kit come with? It didn’t look like A286 or Inconel… Really needs to be for the temperatures those units will see in use. I would estimate the will see 600 to 650C for the 300S…

The stainless diesel exhaust manifolds are made from a 400-series stainless steel alloy. They are cast in a foundry in Muskegon, MI, and then machined in house at Stainless Diesel. The turbochargers are Borg Warner, who I believe use a 300-series stainless steel alloy for their exhaust housings. I have complete confidence in the components of this kit. Stainless diesel is top tier when it comes to turbos and exhaust manifolds.

great vid. i saw that you had a chrome pipe to bring the coolant up and over the twin fueler setup. where'd you get that at?

[@AK_5.9]

That pipe comes with the PPE dual fueler kit, which is one of the reasons I picked the PPE kit over its competitors. Check out my separate video about that kit if you want to have a closer look at it. Thanks for watching!

Why did you choose stainless diesel? I agree it’s a great choice but I’m curious on your research as I have been looking at many myself.

[@AK_5.9]

I wanted a well engineered complete compound turbo kit that I could bolt on install myself with no issues and minimal modifications to the surrounding equipment. I wanted top tier components for reliability, performance and longevity. I studied pictures of many kits and their associated installation instruction manuals. I also read reviews. In my opinion, next to having a custom fabricated kit, the stainless diesel kit is top tier. Some others may be comparable, but not better, and many are inferior. I also watched some excellent podcasts featuring Johnny Gilbert, the Stainless Diesel founder and owner. I have confidence and trust in the man behind the product.

I recently did the compound upgrade well little over a year ago and I looked for a long time at every options there was for my 06’ 5.9l cummins and this is the kit I warmed but I was able to get the Smeding Diesel full kit with s362 and s475 for 2400$. I’m pretty happy with the whole deal there was definitely something that took extra attention to get it all to work! And a lot of hardware and seals I had to go and get plus I upgraded a lot of the hardware to better stuff . But for the price 2400$ with both Turbos and a stainless steel piping kit and stainless 3 piece manifold is hard to pass up but part of me wishes I had done this kit specially after watching this!

Where are you going to get the Dyno tune?

[@AK_5.9]

I decided to get the tuning done remotely by 5-9diesel.com using MM3. I’ll be doing a video on that some time soon. I’m planning to get a transmission from Firepunk Diesel at some point, and will perhaps do a dyno session while there. As soon as I get some time. Will definitely do a follow up when that happens.

[@josedearcos1490]

who do you prefer for parts?

[@AK_5.9]

I ordered this compound turbo kit directly from Stainless Diesel. Most of the other aftermarket parts I’ve installed (injectors, dual cp3 kit, FASS lift pump, ARP head studs) I ordered from Alligator Performance. Valve springs and pushrods I ordered directly from Hamilton. Planning on getting tuning and transmission from Firepunk soon

[@ethanadamson]

Would like to see a video on egts, boost, and towing with the kit. Been thinking about a compound kit but still on edge.

[@AK_5.9]

I'll work on getting a video up on those topics, particularly after I get it tuned. Get you a kit, it's the best of both worlds. You'll love it!

Looking at a second gen swap from them myself. I cant find anywhere on their site for paint options for the piping.

[@AK_5.9]

The compound kit page has a drop down menu to select a color for the piping. I went with “merica red”

[@pickle5051]

No numbers?

[@AK_5.9]

What numbers are you looking for?

🤔 so.. are you going to be moving the air filter out of the hot engine bay air..?? Or just suck on hot not so dense engine bay air, and compress it into hotter less dense air..? 🤷‍♂️ seems like a lot of performance left on the table by leaving the filter in that location.

[@AK_5.9]

The engine bay is open to the ground directly anterior and inferior to the air filter which you can sort of see at 11:36. When the front passenger fender skin is installed the filter is right on top of the anterior aspect of it, but not contacting it. The fender skin hangs down lower than the front bumper. So when in motion the air from the front will be contacting the slope of the fender skin and moving superior and posterior to directly contact the air filter. So at least there is some outside air getting to it. That being said, your point is well taken and it would be nice if it was more completely isolated from the engine bay heat. I don’t plan to move the filter as this is the architecture of the kit. One thing I’m considering is an amerihood SSK hood which has a functional hood scoop that would dump outside air on top of the filter while in motion.

That's why we have giant intercoolers
