What is this?
I spend most of my time on the idi forum so I'm not fimialir with the new fords. A friend of mine has a 2004 regular cab 4x4 6.0 turbo with a manual transmission. The question is: On the tubro between the two impellers is a eletrical plug with a solinoid (the end of it has "garret" stamped in it, if that helps) maybe, what is it and what does it do and when it fails what happens? Thanks for your help

VGT solenoid (Control Valve) which opens and closes the variable vains in the turbo.

That's it. On the New 2011 6.7 you can use a banana peal for fuel.

No, actually it is the solenoid valve for the VGT turbo

You guys have it all wrong. the flux capacitor made time travel possible and the mr. fusion took the banana peels
