I have a 2013 RAM 3500 with HO 6.7 Cummins. Truck has about 110K on it. It needs a new turbo / actuator. The truck is completely stock.
I have discovered numerous articles claiming the stock Variable Geometry Turbo is a great but complicate piece of equipment. As such it suffers from durability problems and the article recommends switching a Fixed Geometry Turbo. That sounded great until I spoke with a local shop who does this work but was informed the FG Turbo does not support EGR and therefore my exhaust system also needs to be changed. This change would provide my truck a more durable turbo solution but it would no longer be emissions compliant.
Does anyone on this forum know of a way to move to a fixed geometry turbo without violating the emission requirements? Are emissions compliance and Fixed Geometry Turbos mutually exclusive?
Thanks is advance for your feedback.
