Took the turbo out of my 6.0l today.
Installed all this junk in my truck today. 2003 turbo, updated oil feed line, and updated oil drain line. Got a good deal on the turbo and that sound it makes is just awesome IMO lol.
Here's a shot with the turbo out. I'm actually surprised how easy this was to do. 3 hours from start to finish. The engine looks intimidating but was surprisingly easy once I started tearing into it.
Now I didn't gain anything by doing this other than the sound, but I've got my stock turbo sold so all I'm out is my time to install the new one. My wife said it sounds stupid though lol.
I'll have to get a sound clip but until then I'll use someone else's. It sounds just like this.

No problems at all, well I take that back, I had to replace the batteries lol. Usually problems with this engine are because of neglect. You can't let the maintenance on these slide one bit.

?? Both turbo's are VGT. The only difference is the 03 turbo has 10 vanes on the exhaust side and the 05 has 13 to make it quieter.

I love the sound too! It's ridiculous really haha.
That's the idea, and that's what my wife did haha!

My GF agrees. If it doesn't rhyme with Shmimonds it is a mod I can live w/o. I told here superlift w/ 33's rhymes with Shmimonds. She didn't think it was too funny.
She knows I work hard and if I wanna do anything to my truck, I don't have to ask for permission. I own it, I can do what I want to it. However i also know that it takes away from anything I am saving for.

Thanks everyone!
I'm pretty sure this will be the first quote to ever make into my sig.
Get after it!
