Was wondering what the difference is if you only buy the shroud or a whole turbo upgrade for 7.3 2003 with TS chip with BTS trans and Stage 2 AFE, IDM.

A buddy of mine is running a van turbo with a ported compressor shroud and a Wicked wheel on his 2000 PSD. What a big difference and at half the cost of an ATS BB turbo.I can get you more specifics if your interested.

Here's what i've got so far. He used a 99 1/2 -03 7.3 van turbo,ATS ported compressor shroud,and a Wicked Wheel from :http://www.dieselsitetoo.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=218. Make sure to have the assembly balanced with the Wicked Wheel. You'll also need to get an adapter for your exhaust as the van turbo's outlet is different. If you have anymore questions just ask,I'll do what I can to answer them.
