03 - 07 turbo swap

[07lariat]

Looking through the 6.0 mod forum there is a sticky for swapping an 03 turbo into an 07. What performance benefit does this provide?

[cliford]

the 03 have a louder whistle. not sure what else besides that

[07OUTLAW]

I've heard that some claim slightly higher boost with an 03' turbo too.

But that sweet whistle is the main reason

[mdub707]

I've heard higher boost on an 03 turbo, but with a programmer.

Obviously the main reason for this swap is the turbo whistle!

That 03 whistle makes it worth it I've also heard it spools a little faster

[PGreenSVT]

It doesn't really spool faster but it does have a slightly larger compressor wheel and make a little more power up top. The whistle is insane though.

Thanks for the info, just trying to decide if its worth dumping the extra money into or not.

Like everyone says the whistle is the main reason for the swap, but you are also able to squeeze out about 15-20 hp with the turbo as well.

what does the exhaust cut out do?
