Alright thanks for all the info guys. I will put a WW on the turbo before installing it. When I get the hybrids, if I have surge pull the WW off and run the ATS housing with the factory wheel, until then its pointless to get the housing, just making sure Ive got this all right, correct me if Im wrong. On the next warm day Ill look to see if I have PMRs or forged, thanks

Read the article. It says :
In the photo shown, notice that the powdered-metal connecting rod's cap is secured using bolts (left), whereas the forged rod's cap is fastened with studs (this can be visible through the inspection hole in the crankcase mentioned above).

That sounds like the best plan to me. Now Ive got to buy this house, get new up-pipes, and the adapter, slap it on and call it good for now

Good luck -- mine surged easily empty with my hot tunes (both van turbo and stocker). The thing is that it's super easy to put the WW on while the turbo is out. It's a bit of a PITA on the truck, but doable.

I know this is an older post but I have more questions before I go ahead and dip into this project. How do I pull the old flange off of the van turbo? Do I have to heat it up? I did a half a** job trying to get it off but with it being cast I had a fear of brakng the bolts off in the turbo. Do I have this right or should I just giver h*ll and wrench them off? Do I need a gasket when I put them back together? And what are the torque specs if any? Thanks again

Get a good quality 12pt socket either 8mm or 5/16 and put it on the bolt, whack it several good times with a hammer, it will help loosen up the bolts. They will be tight, but being on the exhaust those bolts will be pretty dang hard to break off, just make sure you don't get off angle when you pull and strip the heads off or anything.
If you had a 1/4 or 3/8 impact it would work great if you turned it down low and let it wrap on the bolt a little to help break it loose.
Last time I had to take one off, it took one person to hold the turbo and one on the ratchet, and both of us about pulling something straining, and then about smashed our hands when it finally let loose, trust me they will be tight.
If the flange doesn't come right off, give it a few good whacks with the hammer and it will come right off.
You wont need any gasket or anything, there isn't one there.
I'll dig in my pdf and see if there is a torque spec, however I have always just put them pretty tight with a ratchet.
