Help!!! Turbo Fart

[Rishsd]

So I have done a lot of work to the truck lately. My newest problem is a turbo fart. I contacted Clay from RiffRaff he told me this is normal, but I don't like the sound is there any way to get rid of this. I have a ZF6 so it happens a lot. Yea I know I could undo everything I just did but that not going to happen. Bigger turbo? Bigger exhaust? Ported housing? Blow off valve?

only thing i can think of is, shift before to high of rpms are reached or find a more perplexed air filter assy...

You could upgrade to the wicked wheel
Garrett Turbo Compressor Wheel, Ford (1994-2003) 7.3L, TP38 & GTP38

It gets rid of turbo surge which in our super duty trucks is a common problem and is annoying and sounds bad

It's not surge. I have a "wicked wheel" E99 billet wheel on it. It is a turbo fart, bark call it what you like. It happens any time I am over 15 psi and let off the peddle to shift. It does not take much to do this, 15 psi is nothing when you have done mods. I get 28-30 psi WOT. I did find Rudy's performance makes a BOV for the powerstroke. But at $600 I don't know.

After extensive reasearch here are the conclusions. Turbo fart is caused by the engine no longer needing the air (boost) so this boost has no where to go so it is expelled out the intake. I know that people say its normal and it won't hurt anything. But the turbine is suddenly slowed down by this air. It can't be good for the turbo.

another idea is to get a bigger exhaust housing..1.0 / 1.15

How would that work? Isn't it too much pressure on the cold side that is causing the problem? I really want to know I'm learning.

I see where you are coming from with your research. It is perfectly norml in a turbo diesel application. My 6.0 and 6.4 had turbo fart in stock tuning with cold air intakes installed. A blowoff valve will remedy the situation but you have to look at the cost of that. There are guys running big power numbers who have turbo fart and don't run BOV setups.

But, if you are dead set on getting rid of that, a bigger turbo may help it some. I had a 5.9 Dodge that would fart occasionally and when I installed an Aurora 4000 turbo, it went away. (Truck was a six speed) Or you can run a BOV. It's your choice where you want to spend the money.

So it's a BOV or a 38r. Thanks.
