I know a guy with a used turbo setup that came off a 2001 Powerstroke. I'm thinking about buying it from him and putting it on my e99. He has everything, pedistol, IC pipes, spyder, IC, it's the complete intake tract on a 7.3. It came off of a 90K engine, is $650.00 a good price for it?

 

Stock turbo?

 

ya what kind of turbo is it? how many miles ect ect. that will be the deciding factor

 

it is the stock turbo. it came off a 90K engine.

 

Well the only advantage would b the compressor housing being 5 bolt u can get an aftermaket housing where our 4 bolt u cant... other than that from what I can see its all the same...

 

well right now, my turbo has a bad surge issue the bearings are very loose and a upgrade is a little out of budget. i have other things i need to pay for. but i think it's a pretty good price.

 

I would not pay that much for it. That's almost halfway to a good Turbo.

 

rebuild yours. turbos a pretty simple, not much to them you could prolly get that done for about $300 if you hand them the turbo, quite possible less. ide pass on a stock turbo for $650. i sold and installed my last Wh1C for $300

 

Think you can get a rebuild kit for like 50-75. If you were dead set on upgrading to the late 99 setup you could piece it together for alot less.

 

i just rebuilt mine for 80 bucks for the kit its really simple to do.... im waiting on a new backing plate for right behind the compressor wheel is cus i waited to long and the thrust bearing started too etch the backing plate and that was only 100 so i got 180 into my rebuild of course you gotta do it before you damage either of the wheels or price goes up accordingly but overall id rate it at like a 3 on how hard it is worst part honestly is gettin it off the truck if its never been off before, i was the first one too take mine off after 273k but bout and hr, a BFH and a can of blaster later it was off now that its all freed up i can take off in bout 30 min or less....
