ATS Housing and AFE Stage 2 - Diesel Forum

I have my AFE stage 2 hooked up to my stock turbo. I have an ATS housing on order and I was wondering if the AFE will hook right up to the ATS or do I need an adapter tube?

If the AFE hook's up to the stock plastic intake tub with your PVC conection it will work. The ATS housing comes with a hose that connect's to the turbo side of that same piece. When you put the ATS on I suggest you pull the intake spider Y so you can go straight in with it if your not pulling the turbo. You can touch the compressor wheel without even knowing it and bend the fins.That's what happened to me and I ended up upgrading the whole turbo. In fact I still have the brand new ATS housing in my workshop.

Why are you installing a ATS housing? What other mods??

Because if he put's on a open air cleaner and tow's heavy he will get turbo surge that will lead to turbo failure.
