Mark Martin's "Hot Rod" Newell Coach: Huge Power Compound Turbo Cummins & Stories From The Road!

What happens here

Address critical heat management issues by replacing standard boost boots with custom-made, high-temperature boots. Standard boots are prone to deterioration and failure under the high heat and pressure generated by the upgraded turbo system, especially due to the unique side-mounted radiator configuration of motorhomes. Specialized boots, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit (or double the temperature of standard boots), are essential to prevent premature failure and ensure consistent performance. This modification directly resolves a known weakness in high-performance applications for this type of vehicle.

Goal: Prevent boost boot failures due to extreme heat and pressure from the turbo system.

Tools and materials

  • High-Temperature Boost Boots PDI — Connecting turbo and intake piping, designed to withstand extreme heat and pressure
  • Hose Clamps — Securing the boost boots to piping

Huh. And Mark has had some issues originally until we came out with our new boots. These boots are rated at 550°. if you just take a regular boot because of the pressure, uh, they run a fair amount of temperature and he was like having a blowtorrch run through some of the just the standard boots. So, there is some stuff that goes along with it besides just the cool factor and look and the power that that we've had to make changes and R&D on our end, too.
