Early '99 turbo schooling

[adrianspeeder]

Short story is my friend starting out in life with a half million mile early '99 PSD is having one thing after another goin' wrong with his truck. Waaaaay to much money and time into it so far to give up so I keep helping him with it on my weekends.

Anyway, the turbo is now ******' oil like a **** and I'll try to track down a donor for replacement, but while I don't have my '02 down here in Delaware to check, I remember my turbo looking different. Are their certain years that interchange?

early 99 is on its own.
99.5 - 03 is bigger , also has 3" mainfolds, and the uppipes are different., y is also different
later will swap, but need all the stuff to do it.

here's a pic of the uppipe outlet to illustrate the difference. if you do update, you have to do the whole nine yards.

I have a 99 turbo not sure if its early or late, how could you tell and im also selling it, there is no play in the wheel, i also have the pedestal for it and the y part to let me know if anybody would want to buy it

easiest way is by the Y the later ones have the air intake heater, and are 3" on the outlets.
