Default 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

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.

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
