6 litre turbo

Can any one give me a build date when the factory started using the improved version of the turbo found on these new engines? Also what does the improvement consist of? Thanks, Steve

Welcome to FTE Steve Repsol

03 has a different turbo and pedestal than the 04, then sometime in 05 Garret changed the tolerance and caused more problems which is relieved with an updated turbo that has a relief cut into the housing...but all the VGT's will require cleaning no matter what year. Ford released an updated flash that works the unison ring at an idle.
