Just found out why my fuel mileage is junk (turbo carnage)

[BamaSixGun]

So I take of the boot that connects to the turbo so I can start to work on rerouting the CCV.

And to my suprise, the pic below is what I see

I have no idea when it did this. I do believe it has happend shortly after
the head stud job was done.

It has had a pretty loud swooshing sound, but I allways assumed it was the new fuel system I had installed. Now I no differently.

I feel so stupid for not having checked it out when I first heard it, but no one at the dealer could explain it.

The bearing must have gotten loose or just wore out within a year of this turbo being installed (1-8-07)

Dang Bama, Sorry to hear about that. I hope you can get it fixed soon, and relatively inexpensively.

On the bright side, that thing should run like a scalded dog when you get a new one, maybe a VGT-SS ???

Dang Stephen...........that sucks!!

Was that loose hose you found inline with the air intake? If it was between the air filter and the turbo you might have an issue to discuss with the people that did the engine work.

T, that line attaches at the front of the exhaust manifold. I could be a sensor or something.

That thing is toast.
The way it is chunked out it almost looks like something might have went through it
Might not hurt to pull the intercooler and see if any of the pieces got stopped in it before they made it to the engine.

This may be a excuse for a big aftermarket Always try and look at the bright side

Dang bama, you using that thing as a wood chipper? Hope they get you fixed up!

Bama, it looks like something went through it. Check the rest of the tubing from the air filter for any thing broken or missing. Also on your other thread, that is the back pressure sensor & tube.

GUYS; come on now. we all know people are pullin pranks here lately. And bama is just the latest to do so..

THAT IS the wood chipper. small kindling of coarse, nothing over 2" in diameter.....

stephen, now seeing the pix and that looks completely not good and I TOO would suggest something went thru it and pieces came out the other end somewheree, (intercooler or tailpipe)...

p.s. was the tech missing any sockets....

keep us informed little buddy...

p.s.s. your 'file' is now approaching the size of mine....

 

[BamaSixGun]

Do ya'll think that if the housing is in good shape, that I could just replace the wheel (propeller)?

Is there such a kit out there for the 6.0?

If so, this maybe a money saver for me.





EDIT: It just dawned on me, I wonder what the exhaust side of the turbo looks like

and i wont even make a crack about
your after market air filter...
