The better turbo's the 03/04 model. They can be had for the same money in new condition.

I believe the 03 pedestal will take the late turbo, it just uses two bolts instead of three. You can't put an 03 turbo in an 05 without the right pedestal.

 

Thank you. I appreciate the information.

 

You can pickup a new 03'/early 04' for $795 plus shipping from someone in KY. (feel free to pm me for details). I do not believe the business is a site sponsor, so I will not advertise for them and break the rules.

The pedestals are different as already stated.
