Can anyone tell me the size of the turbo used on the 6.9's. Is there an equivalent part number by Garrett, Precision etc?

Would love to buy a kit but by the time i pay for shipping & taxes it's starting to get expensive, may try to fabricate the pipe work myself.

Thanks, George.

It's generally a Garrett T3 turbo matched with this motor. Not sure what A/R was used for early kits but late ones have a high A/R. No factory 6.9 turbo exists.

I wish I had recorded all this when I had mine apart. I remember mine was a T04B but don't remember the housing sizes. Here is a hint, if you find the complete specs on a Banks turbo, try to find one with a compressor wheel/housing that flows more air. Mine only makes about 4 psi when you're wide open, loaded, uphill. It probably would make more if I jacked the fuel up but I am trying for smoke-free performance.

Hmm, my Banks makes almost 11psi unloaded on flat ground floored. I get 4-5 psi running down the highway at 65-70. Pump turned up one flat.
