The cut off date for the early 99 is 12-7-98, anything after that will be a 99.5. They changed some of the suspension after 3-1-99, so someone might have the older suspension with the newer motor.
The early 99 does have a smaller turbo but we don't experience the dreaded turbo surge that comes with having that bigger turbo. Injectors are 120cc for the early VS 140cc for the late 99. I beleive the HPOP is 15 degree on the early and 17 on the late. Stock HP is 235ish for the early, 250ish for the late.
When you start doing your mods it's important to tell your supplier early or late as it will effect your performance. Stick with the stamped dates as badges on doors or quarter panels are unreliable.
My 2 cents,
Jeff
Early 99 4X4 CC DWR, 6637,Straight piped, ISSPro gauges,pyro, boost, water temp, DP Tuner stock, 40tow, 60tow, 80econo, 120race, KCM S.S. HPX line, ITP Overboost Annihilator. In that order
