Did you guys di the install leaving the turbo mounted or did you pull it? A guy on Youtube makes it look very easy leaving the turbo in place.

We pulled the turbo because I wanted to replace my pedistal o rings.

Make sure you spray everything with some PB Blaster or something the night before. Some of those clamps and bolts are brutal.

Ron was selling the wicked wheel by itself before. He calls it a "Banks wheel". Check with him: eBay Store - ronsturboservice salt lake city:
He has just about any thing for a Garrett 7.3 PSD turbo. He also sells a generic ATS compressor housing with 4" inlet and upgraded WG actuator, for those who are interested.

Please don't ever feel like your going to look stupid by asking a question. The only dumb question is the one that you don't ask. We all at some point in time were novices when it came to these trucks, we learned by reading, doing and asking questions.So with that being said Welcome to FTE and our forum ask what ever you don't know. You'll be up to snuff in no time!!

Haha! There was no beer this time Ronnie. I went down alone. Got it done pretty quick though I guess. The worst part was that damn clamp on the backside there. That thing did want to come loose. Finally got it off and replaced my pedistal o rings right away.

Pretty easy overall. You can learn a lot from Kris.

There is no wheel coming up on his site. I wonder if he is sold out. He does have the ATS though. Still not sure which route to go.

Call him directly. His phone number is there in his eBay store. I'm sure he has a lot of stuff not actually listed...

He does list one that comes with the rebuild kit. IIRC, it is the first item shown in the ebay store. I'm sure he can sell you one separately. I think they used be ~$80.
Like Joe said, give Ron a call.
