Ok thanks, now I know what to look for. I assume that's an OBS turbo then. Mech2161, were you able to keep your intake tubing the same w/ the van turbo?

if you use the ATS housing with it's 4" intake, what is the best way to hook up a filter like the Tymar or the kwik filter...? i think i would like to go to this set up in the spring... one other quesiton, if i go to the ATS housing, is there any advantage to switching back to the stock compressor wheel or should i leave the wicked wheel on the turbo..?

hmm, i had long post typed, but it didnt go through

so i'll paraphrase-

take a 22* elbow off the turbo, maybe a custom 15* to level the bend out, and then a straight piece, with another 22* to the filter. blue couplings would look sweet, or color matched pipe with silver/chrome couplers, stainless "constant-torque" clamps. schweet.

Are you guys going to well known exhaust places for your 4" components or small exhaust shops?? The places in my town have nothing over 3".

Can anyone verify to part number for the 99.5-03 Van turbo..? I believe it is XC2Z-6K682-AARM, but wanted to double check before I bought anything.

Another question is will I be able to reuse my turbo pedestal that is on my truck now?? Is there anything special I will have to do with a van turbo besides re-do the intake?
