Aftermarket VGT? D16H

Hey just wondering if anyone has had any positive experience with an aftermarket VGT for a D16H? (Or any D13,16 for that matter)

I know there are aftermarket actuators out there, but unfortunately, I suspect the turbine itself is what failed on me last night. Fingers crossed the horrible noise I heard was on the exhaust side...
. and was not hot shards of junk working their way through all those very expensive moving parts.

Ugghhhhhhhhh

Thanks,

Jeff

 

I've had one on there since near day 1! Still a firm believer in them despite the situation.

My truck got the virus unfortunately. After digging in further, the sector shaft seized and I ended up with a cracked liner, likely busted valve, and coolant in the hole. I stopped all discovery work and teardown when I found out. Couldn't find an actual engine builder willing to inframe it, and volvo wont offer warranty on said inframe because of my exhaust modifications. So was in quite a pickle.

Then, right out of the sky! Found a 100% complete D16H with 10k miles on it out of a factory test truck, decommissioned in late 2017
Should be here monday (fingers crossed)

Praying for a smooth operation! *Should* be an easy swap. Hook up coolant hoses, swap over my ecm and carry on.
