Looking for a Garrett Stage 2 GT3782R

[WBacon]

I am looking to purchase a new turbo if my truck does not sell. (see the for sale) having trouble finding a stage 2 GT3782R. Anybody know of one?

Go thru Tom at Turbo Resource in Lake Havasu, Az.

He does not have any and does not see any coming.

Then I would say your chances are slim, he is the Garrett guy!

Did he say why?

This turbo has become a lot more popular in the last year or two and I would assume Garrett has to ramp up their production?

 

[WBacon]

I guess they are on back order. There coming I think but no ETA.

My truck is an 06. Wondering about how much of a difference the cam made in your truck? I understand the 05-06 are a little different.

 

[AH64ID]

05-06 are 99. 99% identical, the cam made a nice difference in the bottom end and motor smoothness. It's not a huge difference, but worth it.

AH64ID, if the cam helps in the low end, would you even recommend it for an automatic equipped truck?

 

[AH64ID]

Yes. The cam is one of the main choke points on a 03+ truck. You have swapped the turbo out already, as it's the 2nd main choke point that is used to meet emissions.

The HPCR 5. 9 cam has the most intake and least exhaust of any cam put in a ISB in a Ram.

Between the cam/turbo my motor is so smooth and loves to rev now. Before even at no load it sounded like it was working hard and hated rpms, now its smooth and easy all the way up.
