in my opinion the early one is the best turbo they put on no turbo surge, the screens i think are to shut the turbo up so u don't hear it as much a bigger intake for the turbo can be had with a ats compressor housing this will also solve the turbo surging problem the only 2000 i've looked at has the ats upgrade on it so i don't know if the stock one is bigger or not

yes the early 99 does not surge..it also doesn't flow as much air..I will be using the stock turbo from the 01 right now with a wicked wheel..I am in hopes to have a TN by the end of summer..that and injectors I'm hoping to be around 400 HP

i don't much about these turbos other than what i have experienced but i can tell you with my 90hp hypermax and the six gun turned up to level 6 roughly 152hp over stock the stock turbo will clean the smoke out of the stacks very well but with the smoker setting on the hypermax it still cleans up after the black cloud is left behind
i'm am looking to do something for a turbo upgrade or something i'm still looking into it

Iam not going to turn this thread into another dp chip thread, but if you have time you should do a search on here or go onto the DP tuner website. They do great tunes for our trucks and i love my 140hp setting (soot like no other!)

yeah but with both maxed out my truck will torque twist in every gear and smoke like crazy pluse i'm done changing chips and such i'm happy with what i have
btw it doesn't clean up all the way just isn't as dark on the smoker setting
i'm also someone who likes to deal with local companies that way its close if i have a problem with it and the hypermax guys have been really good to me and every one else i know thats gone there

No wonder why there is screen's in the larger intake to prevent sucking in small kids and animals.

Yes to the point, use RTV silicone sealant, bought at the dealer, it's a 1/2 tube caulk gun cartridge, and its gray, specifically designed for 7.3 Powerstrokes, so it says on the outside. Same stuff that you use on the oil pan, and IDM.
