I've heard a few people sayin that a 2nd gen manifold will get rid of that horrrible raspy sound. Just wonderin if its a direct bolt on?

 

Yes it bolts right on, you will need a second gen Downpipe and also need to modify your intercooler pipe and make an intake, we used a 4 inch 30 degree elbow and AFE 4 inch cone filter.

 

can we get a sound clip/vid of somebody who has done this...im anxiously waiting

 

me too

any videos?

ive been searching all over the net

 

I am doing this mod myself - a few more items to mention (turbo oil drain tube will need to be lengthened and possibly different turbo oil feed line). I purchased off ebay these items including the block fitting from a 2nd gen diesel. Gaskets will also need to be replaced - minor items. The difficult part is the exhaust and intercooler pipe. On my part, the exhaust will be tricky since I want to retain the factory downpipe in case I upgrade to a 5-inch or 6 inch exhaust system, otherwise I will use a HX40 downpipe. I will try a drivers side 3rd gen intercooler and see if a long radius 90 degree rubber boot will work with a slight clocking of the turbo. I am in the process of obtaining the parts at this time.

A forum member by the name of Matego did this mod. I hope he doesn't mind throwing out his name on this particular topic. I believe this person used a larger turbo and had to trim part of his shock tower.

 

are you using the stock turbo?

 

Yes - stock turbo at this time.

 

Made any more progress with this swap?

 

I'm thinking about putting my 2nd gen turbo on my 3rd gen also. So have any of you guy's actually done this mod? If so does anyone have the list of what all is needed to do this?

 

Im running a 2nd gen manifold as well and very happy with it!!
