turbo question

My friends 6.0 turbo crapped out. Should he go back with stock or take advantage of a better turbo. Truck is bone stock. Is there a turbo that goes with some mods,but is good in stock form also? Thanks

Get a Powermax if you are wanting to replace the turbo and not clean it. Is good for stock applications as well as "minor" power increases.

Or...... get the rebuild kit and try to rebuild it before dropping the coin on a new turbo. Here's a video to demonstrate.
