Tp38 housing swap

Hotrodder899 · Aug 17, 2015

Hey yall I have a turbo with the non gated 1.15 turbine housing...what options do I have for a
Smaller housing? I read some ps turbos have .84 housings?

Whats all involved with swapping the housings is it. Simple or do I need a different wheel?

This is for my 5.0 pinto

Thanks in advance!

Is it a a T4 mount or is it a round collector?

Post a picture, and that will help us help you.

There are 3 basic turbos that fit from 94 to 03 power stroke engines.

I have a .84 housing if you you have the right turbo.

Thanks for the quick reply

That is the early model TP-38 turbo. Yea you can get a .84 and 1.00 housing.

What Magnum said. I have the housing for the later year turbos.

Easy to change? Thanks yall

Or would it be easier to sell mine and get another

RiffRaff sells the 1.00. Have to look for the .84 housing.

Would I have to swap the turbine wheel?
Ive never done it

Magnum PD · Aug 17, 2015

No. The newer housing will have a wastegate and round collector. The T4 turbine housing are all the same turbine wheel.

Can't remember if I got it from riffraff, but I got the 1.00 housing. Think I paid like $85 for it. Maybe it was ebay. I like it.
The recent 3 inch downpipe to 4 inch straight pipe made it even more noticeable.
