Very nice Wes. What are you going to do with the pedestal? Clean, rebuild, of put a delete on it?

You will be having a good time.

Are you doing the late '99 pedestal, plenum, and spider ugprades, too? Might as well throw some singles in there while the injectors are out.

I didnt realize that the 38R is huge compared to the E99 turbo. I am thinking about stepping up to the 38R also. So is a 38R a complete bolt-in for a L99-03 turbo? Is there anything else that has to be bought like a new tube that runs from the filter to turbo?

Just swap the exhaust outlet over to the turbine housing. New bolts and a 4" compressor inlet hose are included.

Looking Good Wes Are you changing your injector cups too ? I thought you said you were. Due to the fact that the e99 had issue with cup sealant compound. Also looks like your old pedestal / turbo was leaking oil pretty good. Well keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

Looks good Wes. I just got done working on mine. Changed the plenums days ago but just got done changing the exhast housing on the stock turbo to 1.0. Made a mistake taking the orginal wheel off this turbo for the WW and striped the nut on the old wheel.
I just got ahead of myself and loosened before pulling the outside housing. Stupid mistake. Next time around I'm installing 38R and 200 sticks. Can't wait.
