can you throw an he341 off of an 03 onto a first gen? i have the 60 mm upgrade and was wondering if the 341 would be an upgrade from that if i could get it to fit right?

 

No, the he341 has a smaller compressor wheel than you already have. It is a more efficient turbo and wastegated but you will be better off keeping what you have.

 

I like the HE341 better than a H1C with the GDS upgrade. It runs cooler and spools up faster. The whistle is quieter though.

You can find them for 200-250 all day long as well. If you can do the fab work yourself to install it, you can't beat it.

 

Just because it is smaller doesn't mean it's not as good. You have to remember his turbo is going on 19 years old. Turbo technology has advanced a lot since 1990.

 

ok i was just wondering i have the he341 in my garage from my 3rd gen

 

Put it on there and along with the HE341 ADD A INTERCOOLER and see how you like it

 

Don't try to run 35/40 PSI of boost with the 341, cooler or not. The HE351 04.5 and later will support 450 towing HP. 341 will not, cooled or otherwise. 30 PSI of boost on the 341 is pushing it. If you would like to see what the 351 will do, go to the 3rd Gen forum here.

 

i have the 351 on my 03 now way better than the 341

 

I'm thinking about upgrading as well. But it seems foolish for me to upgrade after having the 341 on for only 2 months, and it runs pretty cool right now, but I'm going to install the new transmission, TC, VB and flexplate soon as well as extend the full power screw so I can turn up the pump. It might not run so cool after all that is done.

 

You will like the 351 over the 341 if your going to turn it up..And the 351 can be used as the top turbo on a set of twins....

 

We shall see.
