just wonderin how hard it is to change turbo's on these trucks; mines turbo's stock right now but there's a ppe set-up kit sitting in my basement for bigger charger; just curious how difficult it is to do this swap on these engines. im in no rush to do it; say bye bye to injector warranry then! ha

It is not that hard But...............

The up pipe and down pipe bolts are extremely tight and it is tough to get good leverage.

A cheater bar and The stock jack works great for the bolts :p:

The first one takes some time. Just take your time and you will be fine.
