How do I get my 05 pmax, on an 04?

[PC250]

A dealer is willing to trade me trucks. My 05 for their 2004, but it is different. Can I get a pedestal or something to put it on?

The only difference in the early and later style turbo is the orientation of the back bolt holding the turbo to the pedestal. The early style has the mount takinf the bolt horizontally like the front bolts. The later style switched to a vertical rear bolt orientation.

Just leave the back bolt out. With the V-band clamps on the Y pipe and downpipe along with the front to bolts the turbo isn't going anywhere.

My 03 style Powermax is mounted on an 05-07 pedestal exactly that way.

The 04 isn't nearly as nice as your 05. Keep that in mind if you accept the trade.

Cause my motor has no compression on one side.
You're right. The money I\ll be spending to mod the 04 is what ittl cost to fix mine

Man you just made me

[campbellflage]

yeah the dash is one, but I would be more worried about going back to leaf sprung front end and loosing the better turning radius!

Um... you can't.

If the pedestal is different, that means it is an early 04, so it would have had the whistler turbo and more importantly the intake maifold with the rear crossover. The early turbos will fit on the later pedestals, but not vice versa. And, with the intake crossover, the new pedestal will not fit on the early trucks.

It's an older 04, not the 03 with the whistler

I just put an 05 turbo on my 03 truck with the 03 intake manifold with the rear crossover...........


With a cutoff wheel and not alot of brains the turbo can be fitted in there....
