Hey guys I'm about to swap over my early 99 motor to a late 99 and I was wondering if a late 99 compressor cover and backing plate will fit on my early 99 Turbo? I have late 99 stainless up pipes, intake manifold plenums, turbo pedestal, and take spider, and I want to make sure this will fit before I start the job, I don't want to be snagged up with this not fitting.
I already have a PCM and IDM from a 2000 7.3 L that I have been running for a while and I've slowly been Gathering up parts I do not have a whole late 99 Turbo but I do have the compressor housing and backing plate. If anyone has info I would greatly appreciate it

 

I believe the center cartridge and exhaust turbine housings are the same, so I think they will fit, but I'm not sure. So I can't answer your question. But I can point out two other things.

The EBPV turbine exhaust housing outlet cover is different, the valve shaft for the EBPV is longer than the one on the e99. If you're doing a EBPV delete, or plugging the pedestal and wiring the valve open, then it's not a concern. But if you want to keep the EBPV, the e99 valve shaft won't reach the valve operator sticking out from the late 99 pedestal.

Second, the wastegate operator from an e99 is too short to fit on the late 99 turbo.

 

I already have a 1:00 non wastegated housing from an international with the ebpv deleted on it and I already deleted the late 99 pedestal but thanks for the info

 

In that case you're just looking at the center cartridge. I have one of each sitting back at my shop, I can look at them tomorrow if you'd like, or if anyone who really knows hasn't replied by then.

 

They are interchangeable, even the OBS tp38 can be mixed match with e99 and late 99+ parts.
