I apologize, disregard my previous statement. The opposite is true from what I have read. As I understand it, your best wheel for the 38R is to stay with the wheel Garrett put in it and not to change it out.

I billet ones are very nice. Defiantly don't ever have to worry about them again. The metal ones with gasket from Ford not so much. Not a matter of if but when.

I went with the inserts only when I did the GTP38R install. The inserts really give you a lot more to bite on with the clamps without worrying about deforming the metal. Those billet ones are nice for sure, but the price tag is too.

I agree. Where not cheap. But figured no matter what I new, new engine, newer 7.3 or whatever. They could come with me.

Don't forget to order new fuel line o-rings when you order the CVD's.
