I think I'm at the point of needing a new turbo. About a year ago I took it apart and cleaned the unison ring but everything looked kinda ugly in there(rust mainly), and now the truck basically has little to no boost off the line. I have a 100$ amazon gift card and get 3% points with a credit card I got and was thinking of getting this one. Whats everyone think?
Just remember theres 3 types of turbos for the 6.0, 03(The Jet turbine)and early 04, 04-05 early model year wich had a smaller compressor wheel, and the 05-07 which were the upgraded versions of the early years (bigger compressor wheel) these are based on trucks not vans and were on our fleet. You might hve to check yours closely if you decide to buy another turbo
Thanks for the replys guys. I'm pretty sure its gonna need replacement, I have no check engine lights(I've checked with a scan tool). Again when I took it apart it didn't look to good in there...a lot of rust. I cleaned it up a lot so that it could at least function, but I just don't think its cycling like it should. On my CTS the VGT% stays around 50-60% and doesn't usually change much.
Also my truck is a late model 04. I'll actually have to take a look at the turbo to see exactly which one I have...
