New Turbo Time !!!!!
Hey yall im actully writing this for a buddy of mine. He has a early 99 7.3 and his turbo took a crap over the weekend. So hes in the market and will be ordering one tomm. My questions for yall are below....
1. His is a early 99. Its got a small turbo in it. Nothing like the... ic boots etc are as big as mine in my 2000. So i was telling him a 38r but idk if it will fit. Will it fit?
2. He has a superchip intake and exhaust and thats it. Is the 38r the right thing for him? if not what should he be looking at getting?
3. What ever he ends up getting is there anything special he will have to get because its a early 99.
Thanks FTE always a big help

has one says call for price shouldnt cost anymore than $300
i would rebuild it with this Riffraff Diesel: Garrett GTP38 Journal Bearing Rebuild Kit
and he will need this adapter to make it work on a truck
Riffraff Diesel: 1.15 A/R Turbo Outlet Adapter

Go with the Beans D66. It's a direct bolt-in for the early 99 and supports over 400 rwhp. Unless you just WANT to upgrade to the later intake setup.....

I havent really studied on this too much but appericate all the input. So the "van Turbo" out of a ford van is a good way to go for the early 99? Can you buy them new or do you need to find one wrecked and repair it?
From what i hear i dont think he will be doing the 38r. Too much work for him and prolly too much money involved. Id like to hear more bout the van turbo and or other options that can just bolt on.

van turbo would have to be from a van with a 12/06/98 or earlier build date (4 bolts on the compressor housing)

Thanks for all of the input on everything guys. I relayed all the info to my buddy and he went with a stock turbo. I guess he figured he got 400k out of the stk one so thats what he got as far as i know. Thanks again to all
