Turbo Question!!
Hey guys I was wondering if the turbo from a 97 PSD will work on my 96. I have stock turbo with no IC (yet) and wanted to know if that turbo would be an upgrade in any way or if it is a direct bolt in. Any help would be great I have to buy it before its gone!!!

Is there anyway to turn the boost up a little. Im not even sure how our turbos work (meaning what governs the boost psi?) Do they have a waist gate? If so, can stuff be changed easily and cheaply to turn the turbos up a little?

No waste gate on our turbo's. The only way to get more boost is to add more fuel. Search 10K mod. its an easy fuel upgrade that give a little boost in power.

Ok cool. So then what model truck do I need to get a turbo off of that would bolt up to my manifolds and be somewhat of an upgrade without breaking the bank?

Other than that there are other turbo options but unless you fab up the mounting kits yourself they run around $2000-2500 and up.

Saw this recently, and it caught my eye, havent done anything with it yet so I cant entirely vouch for em but,... Search turbos in ebay there is a ebay store in the keys or somewhere around there I forget exactly where. That store sells new custom built turbos for our trucks around $750 that are ported polished run the 1.00 turbine housing and a Banks wicked wheel impeller for more boost pressure, and no core charge. Again they run the smaller housing for faster spool up so there is a slight EGT concern depending on your app.

For the price and lack of warranty Ron's turbo shop on eBay is a better place to buy a stock turbo.
