New style turbo to older truck
 

I have a 97 7.3l powerstroke with the stock turbo my question is i got a 2002 7.3 turbo I want to know if it will fit I know the down pipe won't fit and a couple other things but will the pedestal fit and will the oil lines match up or will to be way to hard. I will be putting a intercooler on at the same time.

You have to change, uppipes, pedestal, plenums, get a SD spider, some say you have to change the driver side manifold but I don't know 100% on that

What do you mean spider

The pipe that comes out of the turbo, attaches to the intercooler pipes then goes back into the plenums

I already have that. But it's the mounting and the oil lines I'm worried about

There are no oil lines. It gets the oil and returns it threw the pedestal.

But does the pedestal match up

Yes it does. Why are you wanting to swap?

Because the stock one has like a 2 in outlet and the new one has 3, plus I'm doing the intercooler at the same time. Then doing injectors. I pull a 40 ft toy hauler and it pulls it fine stock right now but when I go up hills I would like to stay at 55-60 and stay cooler.

Going to a stock SD turbo will do absolutely nothing good other then wasting your time

That's not true the turbo is way bigger in size will be able maintain a hight boost for longer.

No it is not. The turbo is the same size, just has a different mount and turbine housing.

The outlet is 3in how do you figue that it's the same size.

You are not going to flow anything more. Doing this swap for the reasons you have given is a 100% waste of time.

Okay clearly you dont know anything about it

Clearly you don't either but you are entitled to your own opinion. Just because an outlet is bigger doesn't mean it will do anything. You will save time and money by sticking with a stock turbo and just intercooling it

Man you were way wrong I got done with the swap it pulls way harder then ever before and way more boost. Clearly you haven't seen the The size diffrence it's twice the size.

No its not, the reason you think it pulls harder is the .84 turbine housing to the OBS's 1.15. The compressor wheel is the same size just a different design. The smaller housing will spool faster and make you think it pulls harder. Boost doesn't mean shit, its flow you want not boost. Boost is a measure of restriction not how much power you make.
