the 99 is a smaller turbo, so it will spool up faster than the obs. where ours makes peak torque at 2k rpm the 99 makes peak torque at around 1600 rpm. if your truck is mostly stock, the 99 would be a good upgrade. but if you plan on making monster numbers, having a bigger turbo would be more beneficial.

Not even close to a direct bolt up without change a bunch of other parts. And to do the change over is not worth it either. Unless you are going to put a Garrett BB turbo in.
