I will likely have it shipped to you from a distributor a little closer to you but the price will still be what I quoted you.

Now let me answer your next question in advance... we pulled them out of production because we found a way to further improve them for stock applications. The issue was more transmission related then anything, when towing heavy with a stock truck we were seeing the turbo stall a bit when the transmission shifted into overdrive. This was obviously causing some lag and was resulting in higher EGT's that we were not comfortable with. We have found a way to overcome this so they work equally well from stock power to 500+ HP.
The ones that we still have in the field are working flawlessly and obviously have NO sticking issues.
Hope this helps guys.

Thanks for the response and info Dave.
If I keep the truck past the engine warranty (April 30th, 2010) then an A/M turbo seems like a logical choice to rid the 6.0 of another possible issue.

Exactly... we designed the turbo for the performance guys but found that 50% of the guys were using them as a more reliable turbo replacement for their stock application. A few changes and we can support both customers better this way.

Well,
I guess I need to get the truck into the shop. I dont think the turbo is going to unstick itself this time. I have High boost at low RPM and the truck seems like its workin real hard. Maybe the unison ring has finally come apart. Couldnt come at a worse time, I am going to go get a new trailer in the a.m. I am going to return the PCM to stock and nurse it out and back. I will keep a close eye on the boost guage tho.

Keep an eye on her and be safe. What kind of trailer are you picking up?
