19,000 Hell, thats good! I'm on my third at 14,600 miles!
Ok here's the poop.....AH! I mean scoop. Pulling the 5th with weights about 11 thou or so, the turbo goes high boost then zero boost and this repeats several times till the truck falls on it's face no power. (glad I wasn't in the mountians)
also turbo has very loud whine and turbo farts even under acceleration. Truck won't pull the trailer. I stop let things cool, then start on my way again. I start out for home base but fuel milage hit the all time low of 4mph something very wrong.
Had the local tech scan the truck, EGR codes, EBP codes, an the awful trubo whine and farts.
After this hurricane blows thru truck in thursday for the fix....
BTW- Truck is completely stock, no chips, no fuelers no nothing.

I am on my 3rd turbo on my 05 X.
First one went at 4800 miles. 2nd went at 6500 miles.
I have no mods to my X except a push bar on the front. I only tow a 750cc jetski.
The first time the dealer said I had a bad turbo from the factory. Vanes were sticking.
2nd time some wire shorted out that controls the electronic part of the turbo and fried that the turbo.
Dealer tells me they installed the "upgraded" turbo and I shouldn't have any more problems.
Anybody else hear about the upgraded turbo?
Maybe because I don't drive my X that much that I am having problems? I bought my X in Aug 05 and as of today it only has about 8000 miles.

Does that mean that I am going to have to put more miles on my truck? I would like to keep my mileage down. I got my truck too in Aug of '05. Already put 14,000 miles on the old ticker. Haven't had any problems with her. Everything is stock and I just do the basic re-flashes. I'm hoping I can get 10 years of trouble free driving like my other truck I had.(Z71)NASCAR Mike said:
