how many miles do you have on your truck and what are the issues with your turbo?? you also should consider what you use the truck for and if you are going to mod it or if it is..

i have 106k miles and now my second turbo is sticking again... i was defenitly not going to go with a stocker again (not reliable at least in my trucks life). if i had the money i would have gone with a NON VGT but they are pretty pricey so i am having an Industrial Injection Hybrid turbo put in right now. they are actually similar to the 03 turbos and increase flow 300CFM with a 4mm increased wheel.
