Variable vane turbo for the obs

Think one will become available that is resonably priced?

That being said, would it be worth it?

Not worth the effort and price to do it. VVT or VGT's are electronically controlled which our trucks don't have that capability you would have to have a stand alone turbo controller and the problems to go with it ie:sticking vanes. Someone would have done it by now if it was even slightly reasonable.

VanAcken Brothers have put an '03 turbo on a couple of 7.3s. I asked him about it, he said in general it's a major pain, but could be done. He said it offers quite a bit of performance gains but there was no real point in it when you could put another turbo on with less work and the same performance.
