Repeated Turbo Failures

[dhirocz]

Any chance the face seal is a driver replaceable component? I've also wondered if there is maybe a way to clean up the VG ring and whatnot so it lasts longer...keep it from getting that nasty step in it some of them like to get.

It would seem silly to me to go through this if it's avoidable. I know I avoid cummins dealers like the plague by doing as much as I can myself.

Im running on my spare turbo right now. Ive been planning on sending my original in for an overhaul, once I find a place I trust to do the work.

Apparently you can buy individual turbo components from the dealer. Makes me wonder if they are actual holset parts...I know I called holset and they basically told me to f$%k off (at least in a nice way) lol
