2015 vs Previous Turbo Comparison (PIX Included)

[SPE]

Below are some 2011 to 2015 6.7 Powerstroke internal pics.

The new 6.7 turbo stepped away from the dual boost/SST design and ball bearings. The 15 turbo is a stout journal bearing design with alot of inspiration from the gt37 and 40 series turbos from Garret.

As you will see in the photos the 15 charger is quite a brute compared to the old design.

We are already working on some modified units based off of the new design so stay tuned...

Definitely some size difference there, cool photos!

Wow....they must have gotten tired of warranty fixes on the turbo, lol

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice guys, looks like the 2015 turbo might handle some are flow. Nice looking forward to what you come up with!

I know my 2011 ate 2 turbos.

Wow thanks for sharing that perspective! Very neat

I'm excited to see what you guys are coming out with

How do the vanes look on each turbo?

How do the vanes look on each turbo?

They look like smaller versions for the standard GT37 VGT. The earlier turbo (11-14) has smaller vanes than the new '15 GT37.

This new GT 37 is a variable vane charger correct ? I'm used to looking at 10, 13, and 15 vane chargers, 6.7's are new to me....

Do these 2015 turbos come wastegated?

 

[Randy_270]

Not unless you add an aftermarket one.

I wonder if there would be a way to factory upgrade to the new turbo. Or if I bought one could I still keep the warranty. I badly want to upgrade but don't really want to loose the ability to get warranty work done. I have a good factory ford mechanic for warranty work but don't know how he could squeeze a 15 turbo out of them.

It would make for an interesting situation. You could try to upgrade to a 2015 on your own and see whether your friend could pass you for non-turbo repairs? I wonder if they could even notice the difference with an EGR over the top. It may depend on what you're needing to have done in terms of warranty work.

Exactly what I been thinking. Wish u could pay a little up charge for the newer turbo. Since it's all FoMoCo hardware.

According to Morgan @ Midwest Diesel, the 2015 turbos need more fuel than the stock 2011-2014 trucks deliver.

the fuel delivery is the same in the 11-14 and the 15 .

I was just going off this post from another thread of when someone asked if the 2015 turbos worked on the 2011-2014 trucks with no modifications.

It needed more fuel. The stock tune with all emissions intact would not drive the turbo hard enough. Threw some under boost codes. We sent him a delete package. But he was going to run it with a dpf on tune and see how it reacted before he deletes it.

 

[CATDiezel]

Tuning certainly would not be the same between a 15 and the 14-11. Lots of different variables to drive that big of a change.

They advertise that it's just a turbo swap with no other mods on stock trucks.
