2011 - 2017 F250 - F750
Garrett's variable geometry turbocharger allows one 6.7 powerstroke turbo to effectively take the place of two. At low RPM's the vanes are configured to make the turbo spool up quickly to minimize lag, at higher RPM's the vane angle is changed to perform like a larger turbo. The variable geometry system uses a PCM commanded electric solenoid to control the flow of pressurized engine oil which moves a piston to control the movement of the variable vanes.
A variable geometry turbo that is not working correctly will cause your truck to either be slow taking off or lacking in top-end performance depending on what position the vanes are stuck in.
Many
VGT turbocharger failures are caused by mechanically stuck internal
components. If you're experiencing 6.7 Powerstroke turbo problems, it is frequently necessary to disassemble the exhaust side of the turbo in order to clean up carbon deposits and free up the movable components that direct exhaust flow.
Our brand new aftermarket replacement 6.7 VGT solenoid comes complete with all o-rings, retaining bracket, and the retaining bracket bolt.

Quality 6.7L Ford Powerstroke VGT Solenoid Component
A Direct Replacement for VGT Control
The 6.7L Ford Powerstroke VGT Solenoid is a targeted replacement for trucks where the actuator itself has become the suspect component. Its role makes accurate diagnosis important because replacing a sound actuator will not correct a separate turbocharger or electrical fault.
For owners sourcing specialized powerstroke diesel parts, this component provides a direct replacement option for the original application.
Before Replacing the Actuator
Check the actuator connection and surrounding wiring before installation. A damaged connector or poor electrical connection may create symptoms that resemble an actuator failure. With the 6.7L Ford Powerstroke VGT Solenoid, confirming the electrical side of the circuit first can prevent replacing a part that is still functioning properly.
For the correct replacement, AccurateDiesel.com provides this specialized component for the applicable Powerstroke application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if the actuator itself is the problem?
Start with diagnosis rather than assuming the actuator is at fault. If the turbocharger's mechanical vane system is restricted or the electrical circuit has a problem, installing a new actuator may leave the original issue unresolved. Inspect the related components and confirm that the actuator is receiving the appropriate control signal before replacing it.
- Can a damaged connector affect the VGT actuator?
Yes. The connector provides the electrical connection required for the actuator to receive its control input. Damage at the connection point can interrupt operation or create an intermittent fault. Inspect the connector for visible damage or contamination during diagnosis, especially if the actuator tests correctly but the VGT system still behaves abnormally.
- Should I replace the turbocharger with the solenoid?
Not necessarily. A faulty 6.7L Ford Powerstroke VGT Solenoid does not automatically mean the complete turbocharger requires replacement. The actuator and turbocharger are related components, but they should be evaluated separately. If the turbocharger's internal mechanism remains serviceable, replacing the failed actuator may address the specific component causing the problem.
