There are some minor differences, hence the different part numbers. Maybe someone who has done the swap can chime in on the actual differences. The Garrett kit fits 17-20, but they may have made some changes to accommodate both applications.

I don’t know the specifics but I believe the ‘18+ handle high(er) boost a bit better. I doubt anyone has done this exact swap because if you’re going to the trouble of replacing the hair driers, go with something with more capability. Not that the OEMs are in any way a slouch, but their ideal boost is topping out about 17-ish(?) psi. It will go higher, but heat increases a bunch more than boost by proportion.
@Donovan - maybe aftermarket isn’t a bad plan, you’re tuned so it may be worth consideration.

Thanks gents.
At the end of the day, all these tunes were based on the stock turbos. My engine ******* blew, not the turbos, so in my mind, the turbos passed the test but the engine didnt. Haha.
I will do a stock OEM turbo because I did not plan for a $8k set back!

No... I’m afraid we can’t let you do that @Donovan

If you are doing all that work, you gotta go with the Garrett PowerMax!

Just my 2 cents, but you should seriously consider doing the PowerMax turbos now, which I ended up getting for less than $3k by shopping around. I would also seriously consider changing out the stock manifolds to the Full Race manifolds and studs. You will want them if you have any desire to make big power, and they do reduce cylinder pressure, which is probably good for longevity vs. tuning the h*** out of the truck with the stock manifolds.
Do it now. Otherwise, it is going to be a massive pain to do after you have put everything back together. You can upgrade downpipes, injectors, plumbing and the rest of it easily later. Turbos and heads are a massive pain to get to later.
I would also seriously consider getting the sand blaster and the POR-15 out for the front section of the frame.
