2190 pound feet of torque. 😊☺🤗 all smiles when pulling freeway hills. The kit seems solid. With all that lowered temperatures, do the exhaust gas temperatures stay strong enough to complete regeneration of diesel catalysts?
What I would really like to know is how this setup would work with either your PDI intake and bullydog exhaust manifolds or the bullydog intake and exhaust manifolds. Bullydog seems to be the only ones making an exhaust manifold that will hook up to the egr cooler.
I run 3.36 with LP 24.5, it would be the same running 3.25 with LP 22.5 give or take 18 speed .73 overdrive 1300rpm @65 1400rpm @70 Tad over 1500rpm @75 Pulls hills just fine at 80k. Anymore weight and I’d go a little higher but not much.
Wow nice. This video really changes my mind about the twins. I've been thinking of going to one turbo set up on my cat. But know I'm just getting it tuned. Thnks
Wonder how this truck is holding up with still blowing through the DPF and having all the EGR stuff still in place? I'm spec'ing a brand new T680 with a 565/1850 X15 right now
The CX15 Performance Series is rated at 565hp and 2059ft pounds of torque. 2018yr and 2017yr at 550hp and 1850ft pounds of torque... single turbo. I get this info from Peterbilt Steve
Thats just the way that dealer orders them because its cheaper than getting the 605hp. But those numbers that they give you are power at the flywheel, the numbers in this video is what this truck puts to the ground after about a 20% loss through the drive train.

I just can imagine having the X-15 Performance series engine rated @ 605Hp coupled with an 18 speed Roadranger gearbox in a Kenworth T610 SAR (Australian model) then do the PDI Big Boss upgrades... Horsepower and torque wiill be through the roof !!! For now, I'd keep saving up $$$ as a company driver.
It's this a plug and play for an owner that is fairly capable with some tools or will an owner need to have the truck brought to PDI for some determined amount of time?
Our ready to go "kit" will not. We have custom fabricated some to fit under the hood of some aero trucks, but the customer brought their truck to our shop in So. Utah for the custom work. Thanks for asking, and if we can help any further please give us a call 1-888-588-7113
No sir, the tuner will not work on any deleted engines. You can use the Tuner LITE for gauges and to check and clear trouble codes, but it has no tuning capability. You can also use our Intake manifold, exhaust manifold and Add a turbo kit. Just no Tuner/tuning. Give us a call for details 1-888-588-7113
The add a turbo kit would, as it is pretty hard to not see it.. The Tuner and intake manifold will not affect warranty and are great upgrades. Give us a call if you'd like more info 1-800-511-1231
Does that still have the def system on it I do a lot of work for a peterbilt body shop and they’ve been building a lot of new custom 389’s with 8 inch stacks but there dummy stacks there not even hooked up to the exhaust system witch seems kinda silly to spend that kind of money on stainless stacks that are just for looks
Running great! We don't put a ton of miles on our trucks vs. the every day owner operator, however, we put this exact setup on a customer's truck at the same time we did this one. He has now logged over 200,000 miles and has had ZERO issues with the new X-15 and the after treatment system.
You can use our Add-a-Turbo kit, exhaust and intake manifolds, but we don't offer any tuning for the deleted truck. Give us a call for details 1-888-588-7113 Thanks!
This is the add a turbo kit for the Cummins, but we do build a full compound set up for CAT.. Here is the link to our website for those pdidiesel.com/collections/turbos/products/cat-compound-turbo-kit
I'm not normally one to complain but my x15 is running at 605hp now. I can't see spending time and money for only 57 more HP. Do you have anything to bump one up from 605 to 750-800hp?
Not sure where you saw 57 HP.. In this video it shows a gain of 124 HP and 476 lb ft Torque. This is all going to the wheels. So if you add the % of loss through the drive train that is roughly 725-750 HP at the flywheel. Give us a call if you'd like more info sir. 1-800-511-1231
With just the PDI Big Boss Tuner it will give two power level options above stock. The Economy level is a 10% and the Power is a 15% increase in HP/Torque over the engine's stock file.
They both have their pro's and con's. We prefer the X15 Cummins, but Detroit has great reliability as well. The DD15 engine in the newer trucks runs well, and gets good efficiency.
Well first thing would be that we are Peterbilt guys here, and the Cummins is the top engine in the Peterbilts and Kenworths. Secondly the torque and HP from the Cummins is at the top of the charts. Engines are very much a preference though, they all have high points and low points.
You never say what the factory horsepower and torque figures were, must have been a 1850 torque rating, how is his driveline going to handle 300 more pounds of torque ?
Most 1850-2050 Torque clutches will work just fine. We do build a 2450 torque clutch for customers when it comes time to replace one. It is designed for the heavy torque load.
Pdidiesel do you work with dd15's ? I have a '14 dd15 and dd12 it's a 505/1850 runs great but would like to know what more thier could be for these engies as well
We do! They really run great and gain some efficiency with our custom tuning. Give our sales team a call at 1-888-588-7113 for the details. Thanks for watching!
Different gear train set up in the x15 114b no scissor gear and different oil pump. CUMMINS did that for lower horsepower applications. I am sure the turbo will fit just fine though.
It is NOT deleted sir. We have developed all our tuning and parts to work with the emissions systems in place. These are the specs in the video for a full emission 2018 X-15 Cummins. We have been selling these for over 4 years now with great results.
The Add a Turbo kit will not work, as it requires our tuning, and our tuning will only work with the emissions all on the engine. You could run our exhaust and intake manifolds to increase air flow, lower operating temps and gain some HP/TQ and fuel mileage. Give us a call if you'd like more info sir, 1-800-511-1231
I would say from what we've heard, you get what you're buying. Keep in mind the Efficiency series is 500 and lower on HP, and 1850 to 1450 Torque. I think the X15 performs better than the older version ISX15 in the holding/pulling power. May not feel like a powerhouse, but they pull hard.
I'm in one now. 450/1750. It actually does well even though it feels slow. Seems to be a little better than the isx. Fuel mileage is also really good. About 6 percent better than the 2017 isx of the same rating
We have options available for reducing temperature and improving performance. Give us a call at 888-221-3835 to speak with a PDI Sales Team Member. We look forward to speaking with you.
Sorry. But I just can’t pencil this out. Between the truck, the mods and the up keep ....it DONT pencil out. Seems much cheaper to build a glider or buy a used truck just drop that Cummins or What ever it has out and put a reman cat or Detriot in it. But I don’t work on trucks for a living. I just drive them. So what do I know ...
Caterpillars are overrated to say the least. They drive nice with no rpm hang, and have tons of torque, but that’s all I can say for em. As a truck mechanic I know there’s as many caterpillars needing repair as anything else. And fuel mileage is guaranteed to be worse than this truck will get
Because the ECM tuning on an Acert was/is garbage. Ran very sluggish and hot. With the proper ECM Tuning, the Acert is an absolute monster. There never was anything wrong with the compound turbos on an ACERT CAT.
pdidiesel the reason I ask , is Because Allison said when I ordered the Trk’s in order to get the 605 hp 2050 torque I would need to get the 4700 rds because of the added torque.
This Add a Turbo kit is $5500, the intake manifold is $1350, exhaust manifold is $1450, and $2350 for the Big Boss Tuner. So all together the complete setup would be around $11,000
