Message: [QUOTE="harrelljr99, post: 1536345, member: 30600"] So. I sent the turbo back to fleece and they fixed the turbo. Here’s what the work order said: " Received 8/27/19. SN: 35-27990. Worn piston ring groove on bearing housing, caused axial play and compressor wheel hit compressor cover. Cleaned and refreshed turbine housing and turbine housing insert, replaced all other parts.” - Powerstroke 6.7L Turbo Severe Duty Full Rebuild Kit (2015 - 2016) -10 Blade GT37 Turbine Wheel -Ground to 12.60mm Tip Height and .250" radius -63mm Fleece Performance Garrett -VNT FMW (2.5' Legal) Balanced - NOT FOR SALE INDIVIDUALLY - 15-current 6.7 powerstroke lower pedestal gasket - 17-18 6.7 powerstroke pedestal to cart gasket - 15-16 6.7 powerstroke Coolant line with hole on right side of tube I ask the fleece tech if this was due to no oil to the turbo because of the wrong pedestal shipped and installed with the turbo the first time. He said no.....he was still adamant that it did not matter which pedestal you used and you can feed oil externally or internally through pedestal . This is after I told him that I spoke with many powerstroke technicians that work for well known companies such as Techs at PSE, Amy at SPE, and Jared at Midwest. All say that it absolutely matters. So I ask that he please take off the base that feeds externally and please swap with a base for my specific year model 2017 that feeds internally which they did. Installed along with no limit piping kit and exergy 10 mm stroker and running GREAT! I will restate I did ask the tech when the turbo first arrived with the pedestal that feed externally "do I need to swap bases” and was told “no either will work fine.” Which I and the technician trusted was fine. Drop in should mean remove old and install new. On another note. I did not Measure the difference between the heights or other dimensions between the two pedestals but I suspect there is some difference as well because to remove the original turbo took about 45 minutes; to install the cheetah with the wrong year model pedestal took almost 10 hours; to install cheetah with correct year model pedestal took about 45 minutes. The up pipes were a bear to get connected the first time. And that’s putting it mildly. But now.......she’s great! I’m am finally enjoying her. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
