early vs late 99 spider
this past weekend i replaced my stock intercooler with a 6.0 unit
i got the boot kit from clay and later this week i plan on ordering the 99.5 plenums from him so i can use the new spider to plenum boots i got with the kit
i would like to install the new spider to the old turbo so that i can sell off my 7.3 intercooler and spider as one to an obs owner
my question is this is the 99.5 spider a different size where it mounts to the turbo ?

But I am pretty sure you can change the Plenums only and still keep all the early stuff.

Which is exactly why when I do this upgrade I'm going to change my up pipes, turbo, spider and IC at the same time. Prior to that I'll change my HPOP so that the HPOP might be able to keep up with the air flow when I stomp a mud hole in the floor board

How can you change the plenums only? If you change the plenums only I'd think you'd have one helluva time getting the spyder to plenum boots to fit.
