[@parkerb764]

Replacing a stock turbo with a stock turbo is NOT an upgrade!🙄

[@ROYZARMY]

Well without doing anything to the motor you won't want to upgrade the turbo the motors are built to handle the ones in it and not something that makes more power good way to make your engine go to shit quickly

[@bobsaget9675]

Why would they put the turbo there?? So impractical

[@KingKongDoni]

More of a replacement than an upgrade no?

[@Manvscars]

Yeah, the guy bought his own turbo and said it was the “upgrade” but I’m certain it’s the same diameter. However it was an upgrade from the original lol.

[@MrKenwillis]

@@Manvscars Did you have to do any computer timing the turbo or just bolting it in?

[@Manvscars]

@@MrKenwillis Nope, just bolt and go!

[@MrKenwillis]

@@Manvscars was it difficult to put on? I have the 1.6 l engine and I was thinking about a garrett

[@Manvscars]

@@MrKenwillis No, it was really straight forward. Just take your time and you can handle it just fine.

[@kcleach9312]

your engine is going to start leaking coolant into the pistons , that 1.5 is the worst design ford ever made

[@randellgribben9772]

here is a hint on the rusty bolts,, a little brake fluid is a good lube to penetrate the rust.. but one more step... before you loosen any rusted bolt... give i little tighten to the nut... this will break the rust bond.. than a little lube on the exposed part of the stud.. and it will turn right off..

[@DorianAlexander]

Where’d you purchase the turbo and installation kit?

[@RJA1906]

All that work to put in stock turbo. Next time get a real turbo

[@FranciscoSanchez-u2y]

Hi I just got a doubt, I did that step by step, my car was running after that then I just decided take it to the dealership, so they tell me that I didn't put oil on the turbo first so gone bad, how tru is that?

[@matthewmurchison3047]

This is very true, you should pre lube your turbo charger before installation. If you don't you can damage the propeller inside the new turbo charger because there is no lubricant inside the new turbo charger.

[@HueJackCity66]

So if you use 87 octane gas that clacking is from engine knock. The recommended fuel is reg unleaded. So even using higher octane fuel will not stop the clacking. How many miles do you have on the engine?

[@BrandyDuket]

Can you upgrade a 2013 fusion 1.6l eco boost turbo?

[@dirtracer21d]

So you can take it off with the motor in, thank god

[@Manvscars]

Yeah, pretty easy to get at.

[@fusionsportdaily1650]

Get an oil separator. It's worth it. Real easy to install on the 1.5 and 2.7 Fusions. Keep that blow-by oil out of the intake. The 1.5 also has a catch bowl in the bottom of the intake manifold. Mine had less than 100k and it had at least a quart or more of oil built up. You should be able to unbolt it and stick a fluid vacuum pump and suck it all out.

[@marine0331inf]

Does the 1.5 fusion share the same turbo as the focus ?

[@alextran8188]

No different motors

[@MichaelDodge29]

I didnt know the fusion ever came with the 1.5l. Odd

[@matthewsetzer9896]

Awesome video. Thanks

[@Manvscars]

Thanks man!

[@MrKenwillis]

@@Manvscarsis the 1.5 the same as the 1.6 ? And did you prime the turbo before starting the car?

[@worldofthemusic8074]

Was this also whistling hard before breaking?

[@Facing3.5s]

How could u tell u had no boost ?

[@askaryanpulse5755]

I have a 2020 Fusion... My turbo died at 38,000 miles.. First sign is when you start the engine, it will puff blue/white smoke out of the exhaust. Fortunately, mine was 100% covered under warranty!

[@zarnold1995]

2.0l or 1.5l??

[@thegg5097]

I have the same issue. I just did the timing belt and water pump. What did you pay for the new turbo? Curious if its worth it on such a small engine. Car is still running fine but no power like you mentioned

[@Manvscars]

Right around $400. It would be smart to replace the turbo if it is bad. More problems can occur if you continue to drive it broken. Get your hands on a cheap boost gauge and hook it into a vacuum line. See if the car will build boost pressure. Quick way to isolate the area of concern.

[@Xraycrayon]

Where did you get a turbo for 400?

[@dirtracer21d]

@@Xraycrayonit’s $352 after tax on Amazon, I just ordered one for mine, idk how to get the link from the app though

[@betsydiven2675]

Beleive me u feel it mechanic sold my torbo i was so mad its terrible i text him what did i do to my car !

[@vertboyz]

did you put the same size turbo or bigger

[@Manvscars]

Turbo was the same size.

[@C.Y.BAffiliations]

It was painful to see the stock intake go back on that thing

[@joelcalvillo7839]

Would you happen to know if I can put a slightly bigger turbo on my 2019 fusion for more horsepower? If not what would you recommend for my little guy to make more power?

[@mindnova7850]

It has a good personality, don’t sweat it!

[@peppers1331]

where did you find torque specs and what did you torque etc

[@jorgegarza9178]

So I replace mine I have a 2014 1.5L and when I turn it on after seeping it smoke start it to come out is that normal ? I already look at everything and it seems good ?

[@diegosantos8324]

The 1.5 and 1.6 are know for coolant intrusion and they will contaminate the head causing smoke to be made from coolant burning

[@askaryanpulse5755]

Smoke coming out of the exhaust on startup is the first sign of bad turbo.. Definitely needs replacement.

[@Mox19805_]

How much do charge for an install like this

[@Manvscars]

The turbo is the spendy part but I could see it be from $1400 - $1800 in a shop.

[@patrickchristy3789]

i wonder if the turbos on the 2.7l TT fusion are as easy to replace.

[@fusionsportdaily1650]

I'll let you know when I upgrade mine. From my research, they're not too bad.

[@pedroramirez4538]

Would you happen to know about how much a mechanic would charge to replace the turbo?

[@Manvscars]

Probably $1400-$1800

[@elimangoat770]

What would be a better for more HP

[@Manvscars]

Garrett 2871r. The 1.5l engine is just a little guy.

[@corybishop5074]

Total time for replacement. And what Garrett turbo should I get for my 2.0L

[@Manvscars]

@@corybishop5074 If everything goes as planned with no broken bolts you could have it done in a couple of hours. No clue on what turbo setup you should get. Depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

[@crewsegaming1390]

Where did you buy the turbo at?

[@Manvscars]

Guy bought it online, RockAuto I believe.

[@Vlogswithabhiii]

Can i get a link for the turbo please

[@Manvscars]

I don’t have that info

[@randellgribben9772]

you can find them online... not $$$$
