    Hi everyone,

    thanks for adding me to the group. I have just bought a used 2010 International Prostar.

    Cummins isx, 879k miles, all deleted, has had an inframe at 620k miles. Have been driving the truck for a couple months now and all good for now.

    The previous owner told me he has replaced the turbo. I wanna make sure he did.

    my question: does anybody know if this is the original turbo or did he really change it?

    From pic looks like actuator has been replaced. Looks like turbo has not. I can't see very well, but if turbo cartridge (middle unit of turbo) that the coolant line from the actuator screws into is red and not bare metal would signify that it is probably still original.

    Like mentioned, I would say the actuator has been replaced, but not the turbo. Most remans are not painted to match the engine like yours is on the intake side.
