Turbo Upgrade

We have a 99 (4/98 build date) Ford f250SD with a 7.3 we are getting ready to upgrade the turbo to a 99.5 turbo. But it needs to be rebuilt. Can anyone help me out with a parts list of everything we are going to need....

Welcome to the forum!

What part of WV are y’all in? Not too many from our state hanging out in here.

Like Tpayne621 said, everything I read about e99 vs L99- turbo swap says it’s a minimal performance difference. Unless there’s other reasons you’re wanting to do it.

I would consider rebuilding your turbo with the KC balanced assembly which comes with a rebuild kit. https://cncfab.us/i-30498942-94-5-03...wheel-kit.html

I have my stock turbo with Riffraff billet wheel and waste master wastegate controller I might be coerced to part with.

Well shoot. I’m more in the Charleston area. All the WV folks are too far away to help each other wrench.

Anyhow, any more thoughts on your turbo selection?

So you have the late 99 turbo in hand but it needs a rebuild? And upgrade all the other parts to late 99 build?

Will cost a bit but if you have that turbo in hand I'd go full swap to late 99.
