    You would just turn up the fuel rate adjustment screw inside the injection pump. Detailed instructions on this procedure are included with the kit. It is not difficult, especially with the correct tools, however it is a bit tedious and great care must be taken during the adjustment as to not...

    M998 Turbo Upgrade - BMI Commander™ 6500 Turbo Kit

    The 6.5 (and 6.2) diesel is a 21:1 compression engine, and should not be running more than 11-12 pounds of boost to be a reliable and sustainable daily driver (the Commander turbo kit is calibrated for 10 to 11 pounds). This is generally considered to be a relatively low psi system, especially...

    M998 Turbo Upgrade - BMI Commander™ 6500 Turbo Kit

    Raw footage of a "Drag Race" style acceleration comparison of 2 M998's - One truck has the BMI Commander™ Turbo kit added to its naturally-aspirated 6.5, the other truck does not (it still has the un-modified naturally-aspirated 6.5). The results are obvious. While the HMMWV was never intended...

    This upcoming week, we will begin another install of the BMI Commander™ Turbo kit on a customer's truck.
