Hello all!! i am new to this page, been visiting for the last year getting info on what upgrades work best with the 6.7 Cummins. So to give a little context, i have a 2013 Ram 3500 SRW with 120k miles, i had issues for the first 6 months with the def system , was at the dealership once or twice a month for the first 6 months, so about 6 months ago i did the egr delete, def system delete, used a 5" Flopro TBE with a resonator, S&B intake, CCV filter delete, throttle valve delete, tuned with Raceme Ultra with January 2018 firmware update.
about 5 days ago i was on the 60hp setting and went 50% throttle to get out into traffic and had little results so i floored it, and it was only getting to 20 psi, but when i looked in the mirror i had blown a HUGE cloud of soot. long story short my turbo actuator isnt working, which is probably because of soot build up in the turbo. so replacing the actuator will be a waste of time unless i rebuild or clean my turbo. so my question is this, do i go with the remanufactured turbo's i find on google search? one comes up for $1300, its for a 07.5-12 , i dont see them for the '13 for some reason.
i dont know if i should replace it or rebuild it. my wife should be going into labor any day now so money is tight, so i wont be able to afford an "upgrade" im looking for the cheapest option available to buy myself another couple years at least before considering going with a bigger turbo. i just want oem power, i want it to work with the ots tunes for the raceme ultra.
this brings me to one more thing, i turned on the "percentage VGT actual/desired" gauge on the raceme ultra and its showing 5% actual but neither ever change, im assuming this is because the turbo actuator is messed up. thanks, sorry for the book long post, just trying to answer questions before im asked, please help me out, where do i get an oem turbo for the cheapest possible deal, or should i rebuild it myself, if so where is the best priced kits? thanks everyone in advance.
