Garrett turbo

[Robert11]

I just recently purchased my 02 PSD and while rooting around under the hood I noticed that I have a Garrett turbo . Did Garrett produce a factory turbo for the PSD, or are they only aftermarket? I had some turbo mods in mind for a stock turbo, but if it is an aftermarket....

Factory Turbo. Probably nothing done to it.

yes, Garrett did make the stock turbo. to be certain it's "the" stock turbo, it will have a 3" intake. if it has a 4" intake, then it's an aftermarket Garrett Turbo. best mod for the stock turbo in my humble opinion, is an ATS Ported Housing. it has a 4" intake. if you like A LOT of whistle, add a Wicked Wheel or Superior Wheel. if not, keep the stock intake wheel. I've heard gutting or disconnecting the exhaust back pressure valve is also a good thing. you can also fool the wastegate to get a bit more boost. Welcome fellow oil burner! you've got a great rig there.
