what is the difference from 03 to 04? i thought they changed the turbo in 05?

[CCSBD]

nope it changed 3 times 03 04 and 05

just the exhaust blades changed and better lubrication grooves and stuff but the main thing is the exhaust blades

Its not like you're going to notice a performance gain, most do it strictly to hear the whistle! If you like whistle and have the $$ then go for it, if you could care less, no point in dropping the money on it.

You will see a slight increase in power if you're running a tune from Innovative Diesel because Eric adjusts the boost by exhaust back pressure, meaning you should see an increase in boost and power.

Well to be honest with you the pedestal I bought was the wrong one. It came in and when I took it to my mechanic he informed me of this. So, I had a choice to make, send it back and try to find a new one OR go with the recommendation my mechanic gave, which was use my existing 04 one, which as you all know I did. He broke it down to me barney style and showed me the differences in the two and to be honest I think running with the two bolts and not the third one will be fine. The one bolt that doesn't match up is on the opposite side of the turbo that has a bolt. There are three bolts that hold the turbo, one up front and two in the back. He put some lock-tite on, keep your fingers crossed...lol. If I even think it's giving me any troubles it'll be changed, so I'm not toooo worried...
