[FED 387]

OK ---got to work on the truck over the weekend---took off the hose from the air filter to the inlet on the turbo and I can see where the impeller has been rubbing on the OUTER edge of the impeller probably on the inside of the case---now next question is is the case destroyed or can I just replace the impellar and install new bearings and be OK? I have not gone any further on removal/disassembly at this point waiting to see what I need to do next OR do I need to I swap out the WHOLE unit for a rebuilt one?--Have a guy/friend in my area that is a whiz with the V-6 BUICK GN cars does the whole hop up routine on them so I imagine a turbo is a turbo!!! If he can work on the Buick stuff a Ford should not be any problem- ---Really appreciate all the answers you guys have given me---Gonna talk to Ford see if they will help any seems they had a TSB(technical service bulletin ) a while back on the bolts loosening up and destroying the impellers maybe I can get them to cover some of the cost?( ya right) Comp 387
