Does your truck have a turbo presently? Are you just making an upgrade?

I would soke the bolts with PB blaster or a simillar product daily untill you get the parts if they still are hard to turn give them a good solid wack with a hamer make sure you hit them square and dont damage the heads. You dont want to break these bolts when removing them *** they can be a pain to drill threw. never done the mod my self but I think I remeber people having to remove the turbo to do it while some people don't.

Deano, How did the upgrade go? I have been searching for the ATS parts, which are back ordered at ATS. Just wanting to know what you think of the change. What are you going to do with your old turbine housing?

Hey I am still waiting for the parts ATS said I would have it in 2 weeks. It has been 2 weeks and I called them and they said a couple more weeks. I guess they are retooling. As soon as I get the parts I will post a msg with the difference in my truck

How much were they and who did you deal with there?

I'll order them too and maybe they will step it up a bit to fill multiple orders.

This is the e-mail they sent me. That would be nice to hurry them up



Dean,

Our upgraded outlet housing and downpipe for the factory unit is on
backorder for a few more weeks. When we get them in, they run $280 for
the outlet housing and $83 for the 3 inch downpipe for it. thanks!

That would be cool if a lot of people here wanted to place an order. That would let them know that people are still interested in these trucks and maybee they will keep making parts for them

That's what I'm afraid of.
I think I'll buy 10 of them and corner the future market.

That is not cool! I contact ATS and they told me it would be $575 for the same turbine housing and 3" downpipe. Sorry, Deano I thought you were already upgraded...
