Uhm my old 89 F150 with the GT40 motor got like 8 haha

My truck now has what 99-03's had standard but about 1500lbs lighter. I have slightly smaller injectors and bellowed upipes and no fuel leaks. The truck hardly smokes at all anymore (disappointed cause diesel) because of the extra boost.

The dpf removal is HUGE, the 08 was getting like 10-11 highway. After the DPF removal, tune, exhaust blah blah. I was up to low 20's, pretty great.

That tuner is the first thing on my list, cant wait to ditch the DPF

6NW 009 228 Electronic Turbo Actuator

Attachment 847

A few weeks ago I posted about my turbo making too much boost, causing premature rev limiting and ultimately limp mode/ ETC failure, the electronic actuator was sticking open. The lovely folks at Jeep and Mercedes do not sell a replacement turbo actuator, they sell it with the turbo... for $4,000, or $6,000 installed. Yeah. This is a very common failure for Diesel GCs.

Theres a company called BBA reman in Canada (avoid BBA reman USA, theyre idiots and cant help) and they rebuild these actuators for $250. Lifetime warranty.

So, a few weeks of downtime and $250 plus $50 shipping later and my Jeep is whistling again like it should.

Black box to the left of the turbo. It took 3 bolts and a c-clip to remove this thing, and Chrysler / Mercedes wont sell it separately. Hmm, sounds scamarific to me.

I converted mine to a manual setup. Makes woooosh and smiles happen

If I couldnt get this rebuilt I was going to try that, theres no fucking way I was about to let Jeep rape me for $4K. Id sooner pay a day laborer to sit in there and move the arm back and forth.

But a manual actuator would have wanted to sit sticking out of the hood the way the arm on the waste-gate sits. Would have been a pain in the ass to mount it. My motor doesnt sit ten inches below the hood like your superduty

Oil separator installed.

Mine doesn't either. And it's not a superduty, it's a heavy duty. Turbo is so large it touches the cowl and makes all sorts of racket.

I see. Nevertheless my waste-gate arm lifts up towards the hood, dont see how I could mount a manual actuator.

Could always close it off completely and put a BOV on it.

Hmm
