anyone tried a VGT or VNT turbo on a dsm?

Here is a clip out of the Wiki for the Ford 6.0 powerstroke.

"There were also minor problems resulting from the unreliable factory variable-vane turbocharger"

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.

Bring it to the dealer right away, it should be under warranty. I just sold an '05 F350 with the 6.0, they have a problem with the high pressure oil pump fitting wearing out, which happened to mine at 101K. Cost me $1800 to fix, not to mention a week of sitting in hillbilly heaven, Norwalk Ohio. They might have covered it if I brought it to the dealer, but I ended up taking it to a big diesel mechanic since Ford wasn't open on Saturday.
