Call or Text (352) 722-5295The turbo on the 2020-2022 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke
Your truck carries the third turbo design Ford put on the 6.7L. The 2011-2014 trucks ran the Garrett DualBoost, a twin-compressor design whose ceramic ball bearings failed on early trucks. The 2015-2019 trucks got a Garrett GT3788V single VGT. For 2020, the year of the third-generation engine, pickups moved to a Ford-numbered LC3Z-6K682-A single variable-geometry turbo with an electronically actuated vane mechanism and a ball-bearing cartridge. Chassis cabs use a different part, LC4Z-6K682-A. The turbo sits in the engine valley between reverse-flow heads, feeds an air-to-water charge air cooler on the secondary cooling loop, and doubles as the integrated exhaust brake. That last part matters: when the vanes stick, you feel it in both boost and braking. In pickups, the 2020 engine also went to 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft, working through the 10R140 ten-speed.
What fails and why
Turbo failures are not the big story on these trucks. Bostech's 6.7L turbo guide calls them rare on 2020+ trucks that are maintained properly, and credits the ten-speed keeping the engine in a narrower rpm band plus cleaner combustion from eight-event injection. What does show up is driveability trouble. Lazy boost, surging, a weak exhaust brake, P0299 underboost, P0046, P0047 or P0048 VGT control codes and P2262 trace back to sticking or worn vanes, boost leaks or a sensor problem. Soot and carbon on the vanes is the main turbo issue on this design, and short-trip trucks soot up sooner; the signs are sluggish spool, limp mode or VGT position codes. The fix order is simple: find and fix boost leaks first, then judge the vanes. One more check point: the bearing housing is water-cooled, and coolant fitting leaks at the turbo were documented on 2015-2016 trucks. On later trucks that is a check point rather than a proven pattern, so if you are losing coolant with no drips on the ground, look for coolant residue in the valley.
Stock replacement vs. upgrade
If the vanes are worn and the leaks are already fixed, the stock-spec answer is a replacement LC3Z-6K682-A for a pickup, with the VGT actuator calibrated per Ford's procedure. That is also the emissions-compliant drop-in for these years. If boost is down but the turbo checks out, fix the air side first: sound boost tubes and charge pipes keep pressure in the system without touching the turbo. The clamps and the boost tester on this page are the tools for that job. The aftermarket turbos and compound kits on this page are performance parts. We have not confirmed a CARB Executive Order for any compound kit on the 2020-2022 6.7L, so do not treat one as an emissions-compliant upgrade. On an aftermarket turbo, look for an EO number on the product page for your exact truck and year; if there is none, it is not sold as compliant.
What we carry
The turbo hardware here comes from SPE Motorsport, which supplies the S300 Emperor and S300 Emperor Quick Spool turbochargers, the Emperor Turbo System and an Emperor turbo and intake piping bundle listed for 2020+ trucks, plus the Death Stalker compound kit. No Limit Fabrication adds its 67CTK compound turbo kit for 2020-2026 trucks. For service work, MAHLE supplies turbocharger flange and inlet gaskets, including the F33386 listed for 2011-2026 6.7L trucks. BD Diesel covers Marmon and exhaust V-band clamps and a high-torque hose clamp, and Turbosmart adds constant-tension clamps. Heat management comes from turbo blankets by PPE, Mishimoto and ATS Diesel Performance; PPE also has a T4 oil drain fitting. For chasing leaks, Calibrated Power Solutions sells the Stealth Boost Tester HD regulator and compressor inlet adapters that fit it. Browse all diesel turbos or the full Powerstroke catalog.
Fitment notes
Match the turbo to the truck, not just the engine. Pickup and chassis cab turbos are different part numbers on these years (LC3Z versus LC4Z), and an F-350 or F-450 chassis cab is a separate product from the pickup even with the same 6.7L. The 2020 turbo also differs from the 2015-2019 GT3788V, so a part listed only for 2015-2019 is not automatically right for yours. Going the other way, 2023 and newer High-Output trucks use a unique turbo with a water-jacketed compressor housing, coolant routed to the compressor cover and stainless manifolds, so HO turbos and plumbing are different parts from the 2020-2022 standard-output setup. Some service parts span years: the MAHLE F33386 gasket is listed for 2011-2026 trucks and the Calibrated Power 1102F011 inlet adapter for 2011-2024. Some replacement turbos ship without the VGT solenoid, which is serviced separately, so read what is in the box before you order. Check every listing with the fitment checker, and verify by VIN when in doubt.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my 2020-2022 6.7L slow to build boost?
Start with the simple causes. Lazy boost and P0299 underboost on this engine trace to a boost leak, sooted or sticking VGT vanes, or a sensor fault. Pressure-test the intake side and fix any leak first, then judge the vanes; a turbo is the last step, not the first.
Does a weak exhaust brake point to the turbo?
It can. The VGT vanes provide the integrated exhaust brake on these trucks, so the same soot that slows spool can weaken braking. A weak exhaust brake alongside VGT control codes like P0046, P0047 or P0048 points at the vanes or their control; rule out boost leaks and sensors before you replace the turbo.
Will the factory turbo from a 2015-2019 truck fit my 2020 F-250?
No. The 2015-2019 factory turbo is a Garrett GT3788V, while 2020-2022 pickups use the Ford LC3Z-6K682-A. Buy a turbo listed for 2020-2022, and if you run a chassis cab, look for the LC4Z-6K682-A part number instead. Some aftermarket listings cover a wider year range, so go by the fitment shown on each product.
Do 2020-2022 6.7L turbos fail often?
Not usually. Bostech calls turbo failures rare on 2020+ trucks that are maintained properly, crediting the ten-speed's narrower rpm band and cleaner eight-event injection. The common complaints are sooted vanes on short-trip trucks and boost leaks, and you can check both before buying a turbo.
Are the compound kits on this page emissions compliant?
We have not confirmed a CARB Executive Order for any compound turbo kit on the 2020-2022 6.7L, so do not buy one as an emissions-compliant upgrade. For an emissions-compliant replacement, the stock-spec LC3Z-6K682-A pickup turbo is the answer. Call the shop and we will talk through your options.
