what do I have to do to make a turbo for 2003-2005 Cummins fit on my 2000? what are the differnces?

 

little help here anyone???????

 

Shoe,

Be patient man. It isn't uncommon for certain posts, such as yours, to go upwards of 12 hours without a response. Most of the members here will not respond unless they have the right answer to your question. My attempt to help you is this....

I think you need a different turbine housing. After removing and upgrading the turbo on a friends 04.5 I noticed that the housings themselves are different.

Someone else will chime in here shortly either confirming or denying my thoughts. Just be patient.

 

Yup, I didn't respond before because I don't know the specifics to this particular swap. FWIW, Smokindog is correct about the turbine housings - they are different.....you would have to run a custom or modified down pipe on your 2nd gen for the 3rd gen turbo to fit. The turbo sits a fair bit lower in the 3rd gen and the down pipes are completely different.

So, why would you want to swap a 3rd gen turbo in anyway?

 

Yep, I'm pretty sure the housing is different and I know that the down pipe is different as well. And if I remember right ( mental pictures suck ) but I believe the exhaust manifold is different too.........I think
