Lost mine on my second track run Friday night. My first pass with a soft launch on tow tune was 14.7. Woke up Saturday morning and started calling all over the country for a another turbo and located ONE in Phoenix, Arizona. Drove there and drove home in 8 hours. Will likely replace the turbo tonight. Look at this ugly sob...

14.7 is what my eco ran bone stock launching as hard as I could. The night I ran that It weighed in at 6220 with the wife aboard.
I weighed the diesel a week ago and checked in at 8130 no wife. Fat bastard of a truck!

Exactly what failed on the turbo? Seals? Turbine? Compressor? What are your EGT's?

Not enough bearings to bear the mass of the wheel. Complete journal failure

I wonder if its a lubrication problem or maybe it's like you said the bearings are just too small. I wonder if that dual-compressor wheel put extra side-load on the bearings. Turbo's seem like the Achilles heel of the Scorpion. Maybe you should Upgrade to a set of Industrial Injection compounds!

On preorder list for SPE single.

Sorry to hear. Sounds like you are all over it though.

I'm just starting to lean towards a F250 with the 6.7 for my next truck. Are the turbos the main issue with these engines? What kind of fuel mileage do these things get?

jcain

Turbo is definitely the weak spot. I'm tuned and deleted and get 23-27hwy and 18-20 in town. Towing my TT I get around 15.

That is good mileage. I'm guessing running with the stock DPF would cost 3-5 mpg?
