Would an HY snap ring work? I’ve got two complete hy turbos. My old one and my brother in-laws old one. I’d pull one for you if it would work?

Was that HX to far gone once you got it apart?

Good thing you were around!

Where did you mount the breaker? If it gets to hot from the engine heat. It will cause it to trip. Mine is mounted on the firewall above the PCM.

Do @IBMobile lift pump relay mod. I did. Have you done the W-T ground mod yet?

All my valvetrain is stock. My setup makes a solid 500hp. It’s my DD and tow vehicle. I don’t have it wire tapped being my pump is under warranty for another 1 1/2 years. She still gets up and goes pretty good!

500 hp with the injectors and turbo you have a stock cam will easily work. Probably cheaper too.

Ya it’s a catch 22. The summers here are brutal. Several 100 plus degree days. The older I get the more I hate the heat. The coast averages 70-80 degrees. Just expensive and well if Ca doesn’t flip to red ??don’t think we’ll be staying here. Sad because we’re two hours from the mountains and the coast. I’m sure after the first couple of snow storms I’d be tired of that too! ?

That’s what the wife and I are hoping to wake up to after retirement. Or the beach.

You said your replacing the exhaust? I’d just cut the pipe with a sawzall and pull it and the turbo out together. Then work on it from a bench.

Give DIesel auto power a call.

No. Unplug the field wires. Drive it and see if the trans issue persists.

Sorry should have asked what year. With those injectors and what ever is on your truck should be fine. Assuming it’s stock. J hook or boost elbow will be good for towing.

Hx35.

Did you go through the Quadzilla tuning procedure? Put it in valet mode. Start at say 70%. Stomp it from a dead stop. Does it smoke bad? If yes drop valet one percentage. If no ad one. Once smoke is under control start your fuel curve at that percentage. Then start playing with timing. Don’t use wiretap until you have the canbus fueling dialed in.

When cold and not running should the fan spin easily or with stiffness?

Does the WTS light come on as soon as you turn the key on?

W-T ground mod needs to be done. You’ll want to add a 150 amp breaker or fuse between the alternator charge wire and the passenger side battery. I recommend the breaker

Welcome!

That sucks! Haven’t you sent the quad out before for repair?

Take care @JAG1! I’m a couple hours from the nearest fire. Smoke covered sky’s the last week or so.

I’d figure out the problem before I threw money at it.

You can make a boost leak detector. Pressurize the compressor housing with an air compressor set at 20 psi. Get a spray bottle filled with soapy water and start spraying around the turbo. Might as well check the entire system.

It’s just a guess from what you’re describing. No soot tells me it’s not on the exhaust side of the turbo. The only other side is the compressor housing.

Could be the compressor housing seal.
