would anyone want to exchange turbos?

It's nuts I guess, but I sure like the sound of the whistler.
If it's not a big deal I'll change it, first I 've got to determine what I have, it's sure quiet.

If it is quiet, it is a "D" turbo! There is no mistaking the sound of a "C". Joel had it right. Just picture the loudest turbo whine you have heard on a HD rig, multiply it by a factor of 10, and you have a "C" turbo sound.

Attached is a not too great picture of the "C" turbo on my Deuce. You can see the bolt that clamps the intake and exhaust sides together in the photo. Also note how the exhaust (left) side tapers in slightly as you go from bottom to top. On a "D"turbo the exhaust side is much wider and does not seem to taper.

Thanks Lee,
this helps. Can I use my existing exhaust system and fuel settings?

 

[houdel]

The exhaust is the same, I don't think you have to make any other adjustments.

Where are you guys getting the turbo gasket kits? Saturn is out.

Memphis Equipment.

I just reused mine. It looked OK and the truck is so loud that you wouldn't hear a leak anyhow.

Lee,

If it's that loud, you'd better replace the gasket

The turbo I swapped from Marksgarage is still going strong. I was glad to trade with him, didn't even think twice about it!
Love that nice, non-screaming D turbo!

I'm still up for a swap for a whistler if anyone wants to
