Look what i got in the mail today....



I will be installing it first thing Saturday.I will let you know the outcome.

 

Dang, looks like someone dropped it kinda hard huh?

 

Dam post office,but no worries i have a big head wastgate that i had on my stocker that i will be using.

 

Oh, that's good to hear, so no big deal then. You are going to love that thing.

 

Congrats man! Looks great!

 

Its about time huh Chris, shees.. and an ouch, glad you got the bighead. Wait til you hear and feel that thing, congrats ...looks great..

 

Nice 38R man hate to see the PO dropped it on ya man but the bighead will be a nice addition.

 

U will love that turbo, it will definitely sing to ya!! i hear the newer ones are even louder than the one i have

 

You don't need the wastegate anyway. Just adjust the rod so it's all the way tight and run it. Unless you're planning on making way more HP than I would on a 2002 motor, that is...

 

Chris your going to love that turbo.If you do need the factory waste gate you can have the one I took off of my 38r when I got it. I went with the 1.15 housing and got rid of it all together.<O

 

Thanks guys.I got it in this morning and did some test runs I might have a leak somewhere because my egt seems a little higer then it should be boost stayed the same 27lbs.I also was hoping it to be louder but its only 10% more then my wicked wheel i also have a small oil leak now,have to take it off again,crap.

 

Check the pipe plug on the top of the center section of the turbo. Mine seeped a little after running it for a few months. Tightened it up and all is good again.

 

Congrats Kup! I'm jealous! Hope you figure out the small leaking situation quickly and painlessly. I've sure you'll get it worked out soon.

 

It wasn't bad enough that you live in HI. with a Superduty....now I have turbo envy! Looks good man.

 

Huh, Chris, mine sounds a lot louder than the WW, I hear mine all throughout the powerband. I had high EGT's also but found my babies butt clamp needed a few more turns. What did you torque the turbo bolts down too??? Ron (Ronspowerstroke) said to crank them down to 18 pds not the 36 pds Garrett recommends, somebody will correct me if i,m wrong, I can never remember off hand..
