The 6.7 Powerstroke is one of the best Ford diesel engines ever produced but they do not go without issues. That said, probably the biggest issue that has plagued these trucks is the factory VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo). The earliest model 6.7's, specifically 2011-2014 model years, had notorious turbo failures especially on trucks running above factory boost levels, so for 2015, Garrett made some advancements that improved the reliability, and then in 2017, also made further improvements. Now, these trucks are incredibly easy to increase the power on, but the stock turbo, no matter the year, can really only take so much before it just can't keep up. And this is where the Stage 2 Whistler from KC Turbos comes in.

The Stage 3 Whistler features a 6.0 Powerstroke style billet 68mm compressor wheel that will vastly outflow a stock turbo, but also deliver the unique 2003 turbo whistle. On the other side, the turbo has an upgraded 10 blade, high flow turbine wheel. The combination of these larger wheels surrounded by upgraded housings will give improved boost control, cooler exhaust gas temperatures, and faster spool-up, making it an exceptional choice for the daliy driver and towing rig. Because this is built off of the same framework as the 2017-2019 model years, it will bolt right up to those trucks. For the 2015-2016 model years, you will need to add a pedestal conversion kit for a complete system. Now, the 2011-2014's will require an installation kit that converts the surrounding components to accept the later model style turbo. But really, this is the best option you have to alleviate the failure prone early style turbos.
