Garrett New Turbocharger

This is a New Garrett Turbocharger (Note: Genuine Garrett New Turbocharger). SKU number 40-31245 GG

Ford's move to the 6.7L Scorpion Powerstroke meant more top and low end power as well as better torque throughout the power band. Ford engineered this engine in-house to be the cleanest and most powerful Powerstroke engine ever. One way it was able to achieve those gains over the prior generation 6.4L Powerstroke (equipped with a massive BorgWarner dual turbocharger system) was through the use of the SST / Scorpion VNT dual boost single SST3266V Garrett turbocharger. The first of its kind, this Garrett turbocharger contains the world's first dual-sided compressor wheel. This innovation enables two-stage engine boosting out of a single turbocharger, essentially allowing the single sequential turbocharger to act like a dual turbocharger system with less weight and greater reliability. Traditional variable vane turbochargers don't require a wastegate and prevent over-speeding by opening vanes in the turnine housing. This unit, in contrast, uses variable vane technology to achieve desireable and quick spooling, while also using a wastegate to eliminate possible over-speeding. Early units supplied to Ford featured a ceramic ball bearing system that was prone to fail, and this unit has been redesigned to incorporate a steel ball bearing to address that issue once and for all.

• Low friction ball bearing system reduces mechanical loss and improves responsiveness and fuel economy
• Wastegate-on-VNT bypass valve allows a high power point by bypassing the turbo
• Steel ball bearing ensures efficient and long-lasting operation and has been redesigned from earlier ceramic ball bearing units
• Pedestal mount is not included. Ford suggests reusing the stock mount
• When this stock turbocharger fails, it often blows seals and allows oil into the intercooler. We suggest at a minimum an intercooler inspection and possibly a replacement at the same time the turbocharger is replaced.
• Your complete and rebuildable core must be received within 30 days in order to receive a core refund
