Paul Should have explained this a bit better...the turbos on these engines are gear driven up to 400 RPM then the clutch sets them free to spool up...when revs drop below 400 RPM its back to being gear driven..

Paul It's a 1988. Cummins Big Cam IV that I built and put a bit of extra fuel to so I really can't give you a CPL or Horsepower, Fuller 12509, 38 rears on Hendrickson.
