good question, the turbos are identical aside from BOV configuration:

-our 2011-2012 upgrade turbos have the OEM bov built into the compressor housing

-the 2013+ turbos have a bare compressor housing (no BOV). This requires a single external BOV. Its not mandatory, but a good idea to delete the eBOV, it starts to leak at 21-22psi

-2011-2012 turbos fit on a 2013+ -or-you can use the 2013+ turbos on a 2011-2012. It depends entirely on your BOV setup and preference.




^^ the picture i posted shows the 2013+ without bov feature

Geoff, i read on your site that they are 100% bolt in. Do you need a tune to run them? And how hard are they to install any special tools needed?

Will these provide much of a top end improvement over stock turbos?

an off-the-shelf tune will work with these turbos and be safe to drive. However, its a good idea to perform data-logging and consider custom tuning before pedal-to-the-metal wot 1/4 mile pulls

it depends on the tune and setup. If things are in order there will be gains across the powerband. how much depends on numerous factors (fuel, tune, boost settings)

What are the sizes of the turbo wheels on these. I had billet batmowheels on my 13 and now I'm looking for upgrades on my 15

When can we expect to see dyno numbers for units installed on a customers (or shop) truck?

Do you have any idea what sort of power levels these turbos will support once fueling is resolved?

What size are the turbos?

How's the turbo response compared to stock turbos on an otherwise stock truck?

Any testimonials from anyone that's already received a pair?

You probably make more power with the LET turbos.

I talked to L.E.T yesterday about their turbo upgrade very nice people to talk to. I really want to know what size these gt turbos are before i pull the trigger. Let has pretty much a ready to install kit with a tune so that makes it easier.

Does anyone have experience with these let turbos? If i get them i would get a mild tune only doing 16psi safe reliable power.

I have them, they are currently set to 21 PSI which is reliable and safe, you can always keep them at 18psi which is considered a tow tune.
I would wait for Geoff's turbos, if I'm not mistaken, they are still tuned by Let.
