Anyone Ever Rebuild the Turbo?

[westcoaststrokin]

I found the how to thread on FTE. I understand the process just curious if anyone has ever done it on a 6.0 turbo? I am kicking around the idea of doing it.

Not exactly a rebuild but I've torn one apart to inspect and clean it and put it all back together. Are you looking at new everything or what?

I Googled it there is a step by step guide on some other fourm, I think its diesel stop or something like that. But has all the steps and pictures to go along with it. Hope this helps. And i was wondering are you in the military????

With the chief insignia, sub, and ribbons I would assume he is lol! Unless your asking me then that's a yes as well

Rookie questions...

What are the benefits of cleaning, rebuilding and replacing with new?
Is a getting a rebuild kit and cleaning a turbo for $150 (or so) the same as buying a reman turbo?
When does something like this need to be done?
