    Does anyone know if a cascadia turbo would fit on a Columbia? Before I go buying a built turbo from pdi I was wondering if the cascadia one will bolt on.
    Mine on the Columbia is starting to go out and I don't want to put the same one back on. I need to get rid of that god awful turbo spool the columbias are known for.

    Nope. You perty much said it. Lol
    No need to explain any further.

    Oh yeah there is one thing. I've heard if you put late model tires off a Volvo on your frieghtliner , you can pick up 2 mpg and your truck will ride way smoother.!!

    Have you let anyone mess with your truck, as far as "Tuning" it? If you have not, go to Freightliner and BUY the correct turbo for your motor. And stay the hell away from those butchers over at PDI, you are just asking for a REAL WORLD OF HURT!
