My truck is whistling in front and rumbling out the back!

Well I finally got done after a month of working on truck on and off. Whew what a job but it was fun for the most part. Thanks to all who helped me directly or indirectly with prior posts, this site is great! Here is a list of parts I used if anyone is thinking about doing similar job. I ended up spending about $3000 with new turbo, but I imagine it would have been more if I would have had someone else do it. Chalk one more up for the "one ARP stud at a time". I took pics through it all and will post later. I did what DSMMH suggested and took intercooler, fan and radiator out, then cut a 2x8 board to set on frame to stand on, worked well. Hardest part was getting motor jacked around for studs, getting cover off AC on passenger side and replacing turbo. I found out you can't skip any steps on that or you just keep fighting it.

Wow the 03 turbo sure is loud, not sure I like the MBRP exhaust yet, its just a loud hiss, time will tell. Kudos to Clay at Riffraff for sending my stuff out quick, busted a turbo clamp then needed boots.
