wish I had my laptop back...

the air pressure needs to go on the brass valve on the back top of the turbo. It has nothing to do with the valve on the bottom of the turbo, that one is run off of oil pressure. Take your air nozzle and blow into the nipple where the red line should have been connected. It will move.

Garrett 38r is the only drop in turbo that fits our trucks, I would not call it the best, but thats my opinion.

That's where I put the pressure and got nothing. What would you call the best and what kind of mods need to be done to make it work?

If your going to stay with the mods you have, a 38r will be fine.

I would not go and drop 1700 on a turbo right now without pulling it and checking it out completely.

Anyone heard reviews on Hucksdorf? Would prefer to fix it myself. Thanks.
I would like to know who you talked to. Why would someone say we would try to sell you stuff you don't need. We would not be around for 30 plus years if that were the case. We will be happy to help you out if you need. We can rebuild your turbo for you if necessary and sell you any parts you want to do it yourself. Many times it is better to just have the work done by people like us who specialize in these trucks.
