I've got a fairly new garrett variable vane turbo from a 7.3 powerstroke. Can this be used for anything decent? If not I think I'm making a turbo jet out of it. |

Is it the PowerMax VGT Garrett? If so that's like a $1500 piece new. I'd turn it around and buy something sized appropriately. |

Was removed because it was sticking. Not something I want to sell someone else. But its a ford reman with low hours. |

Take it apart and clean the veins. Then sell it. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

You mean a 6.0? I don't think I have ever came across a 7.3 that ran a variable vein. If so those are easy to clean. _________________

Checked the part # and yes it was a 6.0 I thought it was the last year 7.3, but looks like it was an early 6.0 instead. |

Yeah, clean it and sell it. Disclose the sticking and cleaning, but it should be 100% OK for somebody to use after that. If you want to make a turbojet, buy an old cheap $50 turbo on craigslist instead. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56
