Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) New turbo is in!

[EricBu12]

Well here it is, I took these pics with my camera phone so the quality is low...



I went with the 35/40 hybrid with the wastegated housing ... still 14 cm.



Here is the turbo before install.

Bench installed the housing and hose... ready to on the truck

The neat thing is they let me be in the shop watching them and conversing while they did the work.

In this pic it is just barely hung on the manifold... .

For Diesel freak, here are a couple of #'s I saw on the compressor housing

First impression... .



I HEAR THE TURBO!!! ... whistle!! Boy you hear that thing now without the silencer in this new one. my trailer is still winterized so I won't test that operation ti like may. This turbo has the adjustable boost elbow to fine tune where the wastegate opens up, I believe it is set stock at 40 PSI but I can't tell as I have a 35 psi Gauge... Guess it is time to get a new gauge... .



I did romp on it on the freeway and it peggs the 35# gauge so I assume it went to 40... . Smoke was deff less than my stock turbo having more fuel to air capacity..... with noticable more power and quicker... . For off-the-line at lights, I can't tell a difference in the larger Ex. housing on lagg of the spool up so that is good. Hardly any lagg more than stock... if at all...



Now, I can't wait to hook up my trailer and try it on some hills... . Damned winter... . end already!! hehe



Thanks to Brady and Shane At Ind. Inj. for all their help
