HE341: the turbo off the 2003-04.5 Dodge Ram. From testing by users on 4BTSwaps, the best turbo for the 4BT.

The HE341 plumbed in: the tall PVC is a temporary place holder for finding clearances for the final intake pipe.

Just putting on a coat of paint prior to dropping it in. CubCadet Beige is about the closest thing I found to the original Cummins color.

I'm only into it for $70, so I just want my money back. $70 & shipping to you. Way less than the $350-400 Cummins asks for a new one. I was quoted $200 to have the aluminum all weld up and repaired, not counting time drilling the tube to the right...

I had to turn the mounting end slightly for the clutch pivot to get the right resting position for the pedal. The new lever was only round, what I had was D-shaped. Putting old and new together solved the mismatch.
