03 turbo install

[coalburnertx]

I might be installing a 03 turbo on my 06 and I was wondering what all would be needed besides the turbo to fit right in? do I need to change out anything? what difference can I see at all if any with the change up? What would yall recommend the going rate for a 03 turbo only?

The pedestal needs to be changed as well as the rear bolt is in a different location. Other than that the it should drop right in.

Yup. Turbo and pedestal and it is a bolt in job.

is the '06 different than the '05 ? put my turbo in with '05 pedestal and bolted right up ..but only had spots for 2 of the 3 mounting bolts

I got a re-man '03 w 1yr warranty -unlimited mileage for about $ 800 with core exchange

You could have got a brand new Powermax for $1200 with no core, sold your old turbo and come out about the same.

yea, but at the time I could not afford 1200 at the time , I made 3 payments and he worked out the shipping costs on his end

Could you shoot me some contact info or a website link to these turbos? Doing headgaskets soon and might as well throw in the '03 turbo that i've been wanting!

Thanks!

Remind me again why the 03 turbo is an upgrade. I have an 03 so I need to know why I can brag about mine.

Just the whistle it produces. Its alot louder than anyother turbo on a 6.0. Put a straight pipe exhaust on your tuck and you'l understand!
