In case you have never seen this...http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/articles/article-06-05.php

Buy the reconditioning kit and it's easy to do.

Buy my non vgt, its never stuck. LOL just kidding. Pulling the turbo is not too hard and is pretty straight forward. Its a little heavy and you have to wiggle it out toward the passenger side. Putting it back in make sure that both exhaust v bands are lined up and seated or it will leak and drive you crazy.

clean it but dont forget to check for any slack in the exciter ring and the pendulum... slack can occur here and cause boost loss as well

 

[weazel]

It still makes boost, just at too high an rpm, and no jet engine noise

 

[weazel]

Oh yeah what should I clean it with, I would rebuild it or buy a new one but right now I am balling on a budget.

Oh yeah and thanks guys

Well I got it at the shop, I have to finish a bumper pull a 383, and then tonight sometime pull my turbo and start breaking it down, what a pain

After you remove the turbo it may be seized pretty good. I have had a few really hard to pull apart after they are out of the truck.

One tip: Use a few different sized metal putty knives to wedge between the center section, and turbine housing. I have had a few that only came apart with is method.


Good luck.

dont let the turbo hit the alternator with the battery still connected.... I know its a "duh" point.... but it happens and its like a spark show when it makes contact

Haha, I'll try to avoid that. It would be funny to see happen to somebody else

 

[F-250-Owner]

its a show...especially when they are trying to get the turbo out and set it down on top of it........ they grab it pretty quickly.... make sure you have a big pry bar to lift it up the first time as well.... they tend to get stuck on the drain tube and in the pedestal

Good call, some other dude brought a 6.0 truck in for us to build a whinch mount for it and I checked his Degas bottle it's puking, maybe I should swipe his lol

 

[weazel]

Luckily the biggest tool in some people box it their wallet, so the turbo will be ordered tonight, hell yes

Mad Turbo Werks.....

 

[weazel]

Well, apparently I was unaware of them. Dammit. Oh well I think I will like this turbo. It will be better than the one I got now

 

[F-250-Owner]

you would have been able to save a few of those hundreds and had a nice turbo....
