  • Plenty of good information about diesels passed around in many of the episodes but I think it's particularly uninteresting the more they trend into personal opinions on stuff that's only tangentially related.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Edge CTS4 Functions, New Features, and More with Jacob White of Edge Products
Q: When do these other iterations of the CTS4 go live, and what do those iterations look like?
White says Insight, Insight Plus, Evolution, and Juice with Attitude are all available for pre-order and are scheduled to launch together on November 3. The versions combine monitoring and diagnostics with different tuning capabilities.
Edge CTS4 Functions, New Features, and More with Jacob White of Edge Products
Q: What is the main driver for what is in the four today?
White says customer feedback is the main driver. Edge also needs to support newer truck technology while continuing to serve customers who drive older trucks.
Compounds Vs. Single Turbos
Q: What makes a good candidate for a compound kit versus a single turbo from a buyer's perspective?
A good compound candidate is someone who wants strong mid-range and top-end power while maintaining reasonable low-end response, and who is willing to manage the added complexity and maintenance. If the priority is simplicity, predictable drive, and ease of maintenance, a high-quality single with a good tune can be optimal.
Compounds Vs. Single Turbos
Q: How does elevation affect turbocharger performance and the decision to use a compound kit?
Elevation reduces the available inlet pressure, which lowers the potential boost from the same pressure ratio. A compound kit can offset this by using a big turbine to pressurize the small turbo, effectively restoring sea-level-like performance at altitude, which is especially beneficial for high-altitude driving or towing.
Compounds Vs. Single Turbos
Q: Is there a specific point on a truck where you would recommend staying with a single turbo versus going compounds?
The decision hinges on operating range and maintenance readiness: for trucks that need broad capability (towing, varied elevations, consistent drivability), a compound setup can be worth it because it broadens the effective map and stabilizes exhaust flow; for those who prize simplicity and lower maintenance, a strong single can meet many needs without the added complexity.
