Rebuilt Turbo Problems
I had to have the turbo rebuilt on my 07 truck. The truck is stock with 23k miles on it. They said it was all coked up. They said lack of use. Well its now got about 2k miles on the turbo and it seems like I am down on power and my fuel mileage is suffering. I seem to have lost a couple miles to a gallon on the highway and I need to put my foot into it more when towing.
Has anyone gone thru this?
I had it back to the dealer and he says no codes its fine and we cant do nothing about fuel mileage. Winter blend fuel. I think hes a dick.
Appreciate anyone chiming in here.
Thanks Tore

if you clean it yourself, check out your local International dealer...This should be the part number for their VT365 turbo reconditioning kit.. 1870713C91
it includes instructions, all the 3M cleaning discs, a new band clamp for the turbine housing, o-rings and gaskets, new mounting hardware, and caps to keep the junk out of the critical areas while you do the cleaning..there's probably a few other things too..from International it's about a $75 dollar kit...i scored one on ebay about 2 weeks ago for $10 + $9shipping..SCORE!!!

I have 100k on my '06. Is this something I should do as preventative maintinance? I had A 1/2" crack in the intercooler intake tube last week and threw code p0299 (turbo under/overboost) Installed a new tube, reset, and all is fine. Wondering with 100k, would the reconditioning kit be worthwhile OR "if it ai'nt broke, leave it alone" ?

Did they put the newest flash on the computer when they rebuilt the turbo? At my local dealer they do it no matter what, said that Ford made it a requirement to install the newest flash updates. They done it to my truck and I lost 4 mpg and I called them up asking what in the hell-o they done and that is what I was told along with we can't do anything about fuel mileage.
