97 to a 01 turbo swap help

[chris015]

Alright,doing a swap with a 7.3, Ive got a turbo setup off a 01'. From the looks of it the mounting bracket is the same,but the exhaust side is different and the new one is vacuum controlled instead of electric. Will this swap over if i use the exhaust piping from the 01? I already and the turbo setup removed from the 97 and the 01 setup sitting on a table. i do have access to a parts truck at a junk yard. thanks.

The mount, turbo, plenims, up pipes, and drivers side manifold are different, you will need all of that bud, and you have to intercool your truck if it is not already

its already been done (the intercooler)

I need the exhaust manifold too? hmm


Also,since the old one was electric. am i going to have any issues with the computer? Thanks so much for the help.

IMO Sometimes you just gota say no..just because a customer wants something if its not right just pass.

^^^agreed...but sure does make removing the turbo easier.
