I have a 15 long block apart, and my 13 long block. Guess what boys, same part number on the rods >_<

Disappointing.

We are absolutely buried, I'll try to get next door to the machine shop. They are identical though.

Would this be a better option for more reliability or would one of Elites other turbos still be more reliable? I use my truck for work everyday and my '11 turbo is starting to worry me as the miles go up.

The oem grade turbo , IMO will probably be the most reliable IMO. The price difference will be the most attractive as well considering a replacement turbo for 11-14 is $1700 from sunrise ford. I have one of these kits ready to go if anybody wants to take the leap.

Personally i would go with Elites vgt kit or h&s single. A non vgt has less moving parts so usually means less issues.

Does it clean up under the hood any? Haven't personally seen a '15 yet. Curious if it gets rid of some clutter..

It's my understanding the guys that have a 15 were sorely displeased with the 15 turbo response all together.... now the tone has changed?!?! What happened overnight? I'm missing something.

There are mixed reviews. I know our '15 test truck has proven to be quite the runner. Morgan isn't overly impressed with his, but said Jared's is much peppier. Different calibrations, different results.

I'd almost be willing to try one due to boredom. Lol. However. I don't beat on my truck either.... so... The tiny dancer turbo is doing fine for me. But my little brother keeps provoking me with his little AWD subaru stubby subby thing he calls a car.

RedRice589 · Jun 4, 2014

Anybody want to work with me on price?? White boy be broke

at least shoot me a price BigRPower I'm interested.

Jesse_01 · Jun 4, 2014

Their website says $2500. So I would assume thats pretty accurate. A person probably could buy all the parts from ford also.

Mine has been good as well, but I'll go non VGT when I replace it.

That is very very disappointing.

Our 2011 King Ranch Shop Truck will be getting a modded 2015 Turbocharger with a retrofit kit here shortly. Pretty interested to see how it does. My stock 15 with just an S&B is a blast

What are you guys doing to the 2015 turbo to mod it? Have they made billet wheels for these yet?

It's looking like the LMM turbo is pretty much the exact same thing. Should be able to get a drop-in LMM billet wheel for the '15 turbo and be good to go.

Good to hear some possibilities could be coming down the pipe.
