If anyone needs a used one I may be selling mine soon to get a 38R. Does need a new compressor wheel though.

Let me know when you're ready.




As for the eBay ad... that's only the STARTING bid price. If it were BIN, I would have already completed the transaction.

Here's a link to a Van turbo explanation. There are some additional links in this thread that give some great additional info. You can use the ATS housing on the Van Turbo if you like or just sell it to cover the cost of buying the new turbo. I've had the Van Turbo on my F-250 for about 5-6 years now, love towing with it and the stage I's.

If you click picture and enlarge on Compression wheel it definably chew something it missed fin on end of fin. Look dusted turbo.


Price is high for that. That just me. I bought used turbo that was look far nice condition of wheel compression it shiny and less dirty. Only 88K miles for $165.

Yep, it sure is. Maybe it's still rebuildable.

I downloaded the pic and blew it up on MS paint, a little fuzzy resizing it but it doesn't look any worse than the one I just rebuilt (picture below) for my Excursion with the rebuild kit from Riff Raff and that one has been working fine for 5K miles. Maybe Clay from Riff Raff will chime in and give is thoughts.

Other one was from craigslist it was $175 or $200 it was in Indiana. That was one I consider buy but found it wouldn't fit without RiffRaffdiesel part.

That one is different van turbo that we didn't talk about.


If you look at pictures you could see it definably chew something or dusted.

I sent the seller on ebay a message to see if he still has the turbo and if he could add a close up of the compressor wheel.
