Turbo surge

[powerboatr]

are you sure the variable vane mechanism isnt stuck
mine did the same thing and they swapped out a new center bearing and support and a new hot side, the mechanism had gotten all choked up and STUCK, unless you got on it then it would work fine until teh next sit a few days and then drive episode.

PB, this has crossed my mind too. I am not sure, but will be finding out.

I went by the dealer today and talked for a few minutes with the head diesel tech to discuss my turbo surge. Right off the bat he said it sounded like to him that it had a lot of carbon build-up. He also felt the high pitch whine could be the shaft being a little loosey goosey.

He did mention that at least now you can re-build instead of going new and that it would be good as new.

I am going to try and do this on my own. I got busy today and removed all of the air intake, degaus bottle and the FICM (which I am going to send off to get re-tuned while it is out).

I need some help on what else I need to remove to get the turbo out. I really don't want to have to take out the air intake manifold if at all necessary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if someone could point me in the right direction as to some online instructions or pictures I can see of a turbo removal on a 6.0

Bama........U think you might have a leak in one of the seals? Also, what was the reason for the other turbo's to go bad?

Bama, I found a site that has new turbo for $1250.00.

when i removed my turbo all i took out was the intake/boost tubes.... i also had my dad helping me so there were 4 hands instead of two... getting it out isn't a problem.. getting her back in is kinda tricky though

If I need a new turbo, I can get it at my local Ford store for around 900.00, but thanks for looking out for me.

Did that also include the air intake manifold, oil & fuel filers. They look like they are in the way too.
