I will be honest, I am looking at a 6.4. I have injectors going out, now a cracked y pipe, I think about cash flowing out. I love my truck, when I pruchased her it has an AFE intake, and upon inspection from me discovered a chopped up intake side of my turbo. I found a 03 turbo "the whistle that I want, and will fix my rig for". My question is, will the 03 10 vein turbo fit my 05? Or will it be possible to just swap the shaft and vein assembly?

Thank you

 

I should add, that I intend to have the injectors replaced, and the damn Y pipe. I love the turbo whistle, if I keep her, I want it to scream. I want the 03 10 vein.

 

The 03-04 turbo has a different pedestal mount and drain tube. If you swap those out, it should bolt right in. The turbos mount differently.

 

Well I do enjoy a challenge. Thank you!

 

I had an 03 turbo on my truck, installed right before i bought it. well it lasted 22k miles.... just sayin

 

You say it lasted 22k, what failed?

 

Just because his lasted 22K doesn't mean ALL the 03-04 turbochargers on the face of the planet last 22K. The ONLY difference is the turbine housing section between the two turbos, and his turbo failed in the center section (actuator portion) most likely, considering a recondition would not fix his smoking and loss of power problem. They don't fail that often in that manner. Usually a recondition of the turbine housing/vanes is what is needed for most repairs and sometimes a unison ring.

 

Like Adam said it was something in the housing, we didnt take it apart to check for sure. the unison ring and turbine where all fine. it just kept locking up after a cleaning. I would have taken another 03 turbo put this time i got an 06.
