    Finishing out this topic as I finally got a new turbo for the ole Cat. Went with that one from momentum worx at $1200. Took it for a test drive last night bob tailing and it feels like a whole new engine! I got an aftermarket manifold with larger ports to help drive the turbine better as well.
    I may have to change out my current air cleaner housing and somehow get dual cleaners on the outside for more air. The turbo pulled the vacuum up to 16-18” when goosed. So my under hood cleaner is going to be to restrictive, even if I ease up on the throttle.
    But the turbo really woke this engine up! Gained a few pounds of oil pressure back as well. Knew the other turbo was tired and needed changing.
    Sending along a picture of the setup!
    Thanks again guys for all your help! I really appreciate everything!

    Yes had great luck with it! Nothing has gone wrong with it. I can’t keep the fuel to it as of late, but that’s a filter issue I’m dealing with.
