    My turbo is acting, some times works then stops. I may need a new turbo soon. Is there any options for less expensive turbo like the one on the old Detroit 12.7 ($500). I asked at Detroit Diesel, they quoted me around $2000 only for the part.

    No, you're stuck with it. They tend to make loud and weird noises when they are bad. I've seen it a few times already. Especially at idle, or taking off. You would need additional after market programming with a non VGT turbo, that is a no no to talk about.
     
    Verdel Thanks this.

    I am considering this option. In fact I have seen some, but I don't know how reliable are they.

    if it is just cutting out you may just want to check the V-pod. I had the same issue and thats all it was a $200 part. Start with the smallest fix first
     
    Verdel Thanks this.

    Thank you, after replacing the delta P sensor, now is working, but I will have this in mind next time.
