03 superduty turbo on 05 superduty

[moparnut]

will a turbo form a 2003 superduty bolt right on to a 2005 superduty?
like will i have to change anything?

 

[Abrannan19]

you have to change the turbo pedestal aswell.

Like Adam said, the pedestals are different. The 04-07's have a different bolt pattern.

iirc its just the rear bolt that doesnt line up, i know i didnt put mine back in when i removed it because its a pia

 

[moparnut]

oh ok thanks guys

 

[moparnut]

so when i get the new pedestal it will slide on to the oil return line and everything will work?

 

[!!!PainTrain!!!]

Correct. You can use the new style pedestal, you just will not have a bolt in the back of the pedestal. I chose to spend the extra money and get the pedestal that the turbo was made for as cheap insurance.

But after the pedestal is down, everything will bolt straight up to it.
