thats what i thought too but somebody told me that the very first ones came with a non-vgt turbo ..he said thats why those were so much louder than the rest but i wanted to see if any of u guys knew because i didnt trust that

then is there anyway to have a controller for the vgt and put it on a 7.3

The early 03's had 13 blades vers the later with 11, thats why they are louder. You do not want a VGT turbo on our trucks, there too small for our performance.
