    Just got off the phone with cat and am told the waste gate is stuck open and the whole turbo must be replaced to fix. $2200 for new uninstalled. Now what turbo would be a good replacement for stock if all I ever plan on doing is maybe a 6NZ swap and where would I go to have this 6NZ swap done? Ser.# MBN07129 Out of Zanesville,OH

    Need to get the truck back on the road as soon as possible thanks.

    I think you can just plug off the wastegate and leave the turbo alone

    Well the wastegate will not close all the way they say which is why I cannot build full boost. That and if big brother sees more than 30 psi of boost it'll derate it so I'm kinda up you know what creek without a paddle.

    Talked to a guy at a turbo shop who says if all that is wrong is the wastegate is stuck open he can take it apart and clean and free it up for around $300. So I think for right now I'll try that. Just dropped $1800 in tires yesterday so this week is not going well so far!

    As long as the turbines and housing are in good shape I would just rebiuld it. Replace the bearings, clean it and have it cerami-coated on the exhaust side.:yes2557:

    I would hope for $300 your getting an actual rebuild, and now just soaked with penetrating oil?

    Try getting the part number and doing a google search. There is a place I think its in Oregon that has Schweitzer direct replacement turbos for way less than oem.

    Michigan Turbo in Michigan ( obviously ).

    If you read up about 550hpW900L, thats where his turbo came from..

    Google them for the number.

    Got turbo back today and they had to put a new exhaust turbine housing on it due to the divider being cracked up they said. $360 of all. We'll see how it works. They did have a brand new Schweitzer direct replacement turbo for $1450 on the shelf. These guys were by far the cheapest around here. That and they were the only ones around that had all the parts and a new or reman turbo in stock! Everyone else I would have to wait at least 2 days for them to get the reman or the parts to rebiuld. Now all I need is to find a 6NZ ECM and someone to set it up or find a way to get ahold of DDS for the ECM upgrade. I don't have a high enough count to PM anyone yet!:biggrin_2552:
