I'm lookn at gettn a new turbo for my 97 Powerstroke And I found a cheep pretty much new turbo off of an 05 6.0l and was wondering how much work would I have to do to make it fit it it would work at all

 

Way to much work for what its worth. What are your goals?

 

To spend as little money as possible with max results, I'm planning on rebuilding my injectors to a higher cc and I was gonna look into rebuilding my turbo but all iv read so far everyone says just buy a d66 or a GTP38r so I'm not sure

 

How big are you going?

The 6.0 turbo is a vgt, so to get it to work properly you need a controller and a mount. By the time you did that you would spend about as much as buying a T4 kit

 

I was thinking just the 38r? Or the D66 would be good

 

if you're looking cheap you could put a SD housing on with the obs compressor wheel, or beans diesel sells a quick spool housing for 150 bucks

 

D66 isn't a bad Turbo from what I have been told.

As for the 38R I wouldn't do it. It takes a lot of work to swap over to the SD setup and if you can get them for super cheap its not worth it.

 

The 38r is suposed to be a direct drop in isnt it?

 

not in an OBS, in an OBS you have to swap exhaust manifolds, pedestal, up pipes, and intake plenums

 

So go for the d66 for a direct bolt on?
