Will a turbo from a 1999 with out a waste gate (which I believe means its and early 99') fit onto a 1996 Powerstroke? Does the 99' have anything different than the 96' turbo... besides the turbo wheel?
Thanks!

The flanges for the up-pipes are different. So I don't think it will.

i think the mounting of the turbo is different also. the oil holes on the flange are not the same. (i think)

It would have to be a 99' van turbo to not have a wastgate, but you will still need the up-pipes off a 99 to mount it.
