My buddy had his turbo destroyed by the rubber gromet for the airfilter sensor, when the tech put the sensor back in he pushed the grommet most of the way into the intake, while he was driving it home it got sucked into the turbo, you would have thought it was hit by a 3/8 bolt or something by the way it looked, doesn't have to be a big or hard piece of debri to hit it when it is spinning so fast.. Glad you got it figured out

Water injection will destroy the turbo blades believe it or not (if you're injecting in front of the turbo) because of how fast they spin. The mist/droplets will kill the impeller blades. That's why the only guys you see injecting in front of the turbo are big name sled pullers, cause they're changing turbo's out often enough it doesn't matter.

Look at where the damage is... That's on the turbine side... like something was coming through the exhaust and hitting the turbine wheel... wtf? I can't say I've seen this very often... Definitely a fair amount of corrosion on the vanes too. I'm not sure if that one is even salvageable.
Did you buy this truck new, or used? I wonder what the heck this turbo has been through... You can typically get an 05-07 stocker for like $250 on the forums though... |
Bought the truck used, about 6 weeks ago from a Chevy dealer. They were suppose to check it over before my purchase, agreed to have Ford to replace the turbo update all computers and eat the bill for $1500. Do not know much about previous owners except for what the car fax could tell us. Last used in Maryland and second party bought out of New York. Ford Mechanic never saw one like this before that is why they took pictures
