Probably not one you want to try  |
You're right, I drive an 05 F-350 with a 6.0 with 80k miles on it, it just started acting up this past week, I need to pull it apart and polish it up, unless its covered under the engines warranty. Please also remember that these turbo's are being used on diesel engines, when is the last time you saw your car exhaust a cloud of black smke and soot? I was just using this turbo as an example of a turbo that's not nearly as small as a VNT-25 Garret like is on the VW's.
I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, I'm not trying to get a jack of all trades turbo, and I'm not trying to look like a fool on this forum, but you guys seem to want to burn me. I have nto been able to get any results for information on the sizes of the turbine, housing, compressor cover, or wheel, my ford buddies just aren't cooperating.
