I was looking at my turbo today kuz it feels like it doesn't spool right, but the fins look good and its all shiny but what brand supplied the stock turbo kuz mine says garrets on it... just want to let you know I know nothing about turbos.

 

shiny i feel is bad. Garret is the housing, does it look sandblasted? does it have any play side side or up and down?

 

Well it looks like newstainless steel metal but idk if it has ne play kuz I couldn't get the whole intake kuz of the hose that's connected to the intake and whatever it is on the manifold cover

 

What rpm do you notice the turbo come in at? You won't really feel it till 2k or so. You should get in there and check for play if you're checking it out.

 

please use proper grammar-

that part is the CCV, it has two 10mm bolts that you can get to by removing the engine cover.

if your orange intake boot is falling apart,you can get a new one from RiffRaff-

Well said Juan. WTF is a kuz? If you want the help of adults, you're going to have to write like a big boy.

 

Other than a Boost Gauge, is there a way to tell if the Turbo is "effective" (used loosly). I can tell that it kicks in, but I don't feel like it is working as well as it should. i.e. I was towing a 11K Toy Hauler up a minimal Grade and the Turbo kicked in (as usual) and I had to mash the pedal to keep it over 50MPH and to keep the tirbo spooled up. First few trips towing so I am unsure if this is normal or not.
Thanks all,

 

I'm sorry, my bad I was typing those previous posts off my cell. Also this diesel is my first vehicle and still learning. When I was in there though the hose clamp that holds the intake to the turbo was loose so I tightened it up, but I'm away from my truck right now so I will have to get back to you.
