Crossing fingers. Car in the shop for parts swapping..

The primary o2s in obdii systems are precat and used for the actual work the engine does. The secondary or postcat sensors are minions of the EPA lol, monitoring efficiency of the cats. So the secondaries need not be wideband, do not sample as often, and are usually cheaper than the primaries.
Update#1
as expected, Ford has no clue. Were replacing the O2's today and the full boost-solenoid + boost control connectors + all the hoses attached next week.
as expected the wastegates are non-replaceable according to ford and are 750$ each.
So we ill replace the O2 and the boost control bits and cross more fingers. trying to be positive but have a sinking feeling i'm still in for more work and another 1600$

I just got my car sorted since turbo first failed in april. Ford can take forever. Is this all out of pocket? I'd consider different wastegates if you end up replacing them. That price sounds pretty high, is it parts only cost?TopherSho said:

Yeah out of pocket. because there are no codes.. the Route66 insurance folks wont cover costs. As to the wastegates, ford does not replace them, only the full turbo.
To be honest i was not shocked by the waste-gate being a full turbo replacement. keeping two bins full of parts is more costly than one bin full of more expensive parts. and on average i bet these tiny little turbos eat themselves way more often than just blowing out a wastegate.
since it will be out of pocket for the turbos if it comes down to that, I will see about having a speed shop do it and drop in ATPS.. no sense in going better and bigger for about 200$ more.
