Post your mods/upgrades
I realize some of these may not be considered mods or upgrades by all, but tried to list the popular ones. I'm curious as to whether blue spring mod is most popular. Click on all which you have currently.

Being coolant filter and blue spring are almost mandatory on these trucks I would hope they are pretty popular.
You didn't ask about '03 turbo on a newer truck! That's one we both have along with who knows how many others on here.

Ya, I only had 10 choices. Speaking of which, I like the whistle but wondering if there is any way to dampen it a little. Gets a little annoying on freeway with longer trips.

I would get a 4" big truck muffler and install it were the cat would be in a stock system.

The '03 6.0 had a slightly larger turbo. 2MM on the intake side if I remember right.
I know the exhaust side has fewer blades but I cant remember size.

None other than turning heads in a parking lot from louder whistle, from what I have seen so far.

So you just replaced with an oem 03 turbo? Is that why the sound is different?

Yes, my turbo was shot and I heard all the comments about the 03 turbo whistle so I went with that. I still am using my 06 pedestal so only used the two bolts and left the third one off as the 03 pedestal is different.

I've read that several places. I've also tried putting an 03 inducer wheel into an 06 housing and can tell you there is several mm of differance.

How well does the regeneration work? They sound like a good deal, a lot of cash to put down for me.
