New Turbo Problems, Part Deaux

[no-red 6 0]

yeah, i could pretty much back up 'got diesel'. just to add, i believe the changes are in model year. each one got a more vaned turbo. i read it too.
and nothing beats my whistle...

well, the new turbo is bein installed right now as i type, so we shall see how it does on the drive back to henager, to return the turbo i bought there.

BTW, my new banks air filter intake system should be in today by UPS, cant wait to get it on.

i will be sure to take some pics of the install to share with everyone.

for all the help ya'll have been.

do i say "ya'll" too much?

another update.

the tech workin on my truck just 2-way'd me and told me that he had everything put back together, cranked it up, and it has an exhaust leak at the Y-pipe that connects to the turbo.

he did say that when he was putting the turbo in, he must have bumped it and it broke, BUT, he does have another Y-pipe, and there will be no cost to me for it.


SO, maybe i will have my truck by late this evening or tomorrow.

HUMMM...well that would certainly reduce the spin up of the turbine...since
its on the PRE turbo side...

bush, the y-pipe wasn't broken when this second turbo came out. it got broken when he was puttin the ford turbo back in.

the Y-pipe broke in the flex area.

understood...and this is a common area for cracks too, so im not
a bit surprised that it broke...good on 'em for admitting he did it
& that its not gonna cost you.

well, i have more bad news. turns out, it actually was not the Y-pipe, it was the elite diesel up pipe that i had bought that broke around the flex area.

called up elite diesel and told them that their part failed, so i will be sending it back to them for a full refund and the S&H too.

good thing i saved the original OEM up-pipe, cause it will be going back on tomorrow. i am gonna try and see if i can get the scoop out, so not as much hot exhaust air will be goin thru the EGR cooler.

trail and error i guess. all this crap sure is a pain in the but.

and i am sure there will be some of you that will give me the old saying of

i told you so" thats ok if you do, let me have it.

WOW!


What did Elite say about their pipe failing? Could you take pics of it before sending it off? I'd like to see exactly what failed, just curious.


about all the probs, hopefully everything will go better with this turbo.

and you probably EXPECT ME to be the one that says it...

I feel for ya...just want your truck to run & run right...sorry
youre having to even MESS w/ it, much less go thru the pain
and suffering of being w/out or doin' the testing/trial & error.

we'll all learn from youre testing just the same...nothing ventured
nothing gained ! hang in there !
