    I had the EGR cooler replaced and then this problem started. They checked out the egr and that is ok. Two Shops said its a wastegasket problem and then I was told that you have to buy the whole piece since its not sold separately.

    There is a place called Turbo Resource I used to deal with when I was with a Detroit engine rebuilder. You can find them here:http://www.turboresource.com/

    Also, in Illinois there is: R & S Distributing 101 Industrial Avenue Minooka , IL . 60447
    Phone: 800-292-0414

    Used to deal with both at one time or another, especially when we were rebuilding 6V92's and 8V71's (you old timers know what i am talking about :) )

    Update: Checked around from east coast to west coast. Trucks that have EGR valves, their turbos run around 2700-2800 OEM . For someone to rebuild this, I was given a 2.5 weeks to 1.5 month wait.

    So in end, 36XX for a new turbo installed.

    Oh this feckin EGR.......Cost me 59xx.00 this month.

    For that kind of money, you could have done a PDI tune with the EGR and Turbo delete with a new BW non-wastegated turbo. You would have picked up Hp and fuel mileage along with getting rid of that crap and eliminating future failures and expense
