THIS KIT INCLUDES:
This kit includes the boot that connects the turbo outlet to the intercooler piping on the passenger side and clamps. This boot is dependent on build date. Please choose the appropriate year range prior to adding to cart. If you know the trucks turbo history and the turbo is OE, you can refer to the following build dates:
• build date before 10/04 : 2003-2004 (and into early 2005)
(1) Turbo Outlet Boot measuring 2.5" Inner Diameter
(2) T-Bolt Style Clamps
• build date after 10/04 : 2005*-2007 (partway through 2005 and later)
(1) Turbo Outlet Boot measuring 2.5" Inner Diameter
(2) T-Bolt Style Clamps
There are situations where your vehicle may be 'converted' to a different year style turbo setup which means it is always best to physically identify your turbo first. With three possible turbo setups and two possible boot options, it can get a bit confusing. You can refer to cross reference guides on your turbo model to determine year range and use the following guide:
03-04 6.0L DSB6TO3
04.5-05 6.0L DSB6TO3
05-07 6.0L DSB6TO5
Torque spec is 60 in/lbs - DO NOT EXCEED!
THE ISSUE WITH STOCK BOOTS:
Stock boot material is silicone; however, this type of material is NOT oil compatible. This material will break down over time in these applications as the PSD incorporates a closed crankcase vent system. This means oil travels through the intake and comes in constant contact with the boots. This oil contact causes deterioration and leaks due to the incompatibility of the silicon boots and the oil from your crankcase. In fact, if you have seen an oil mist all over the valley of your PSD and wondered where it was coming from, chances are it was caused by leaking and deteriorated stock boots. The stock boots WILL leak air and oil and cause a 3-4 PSI loss in boost.
HOW ARE DIESELSITE BOOTS MADE?
This is a DIESELSITE original product and has been treated with the highest quality. We ordered sample upon sample of hose material and clamps until we were satisfied with the quality of the parts and certain of their integrity in our application. Our boots are made of a hose that is reinforced with a 5-ply braided synthetic fabric. It will not kink or collapse. The special synthetic rubber is exceptionally resistant to heat, ozone, gasoline, gasohol, methanol, ethanol, and diesel fuel. It can withstand the engine heat and 100 psi boost pressure. With care, this is a virtually indestructible boot material.
Our boots are Fluorolastomer lined to handle the heat and oil. Fluorolastomers are synthetic, rubber-like materials used in gaskets and o-rings. Their unique properties make these products ideal for high-performance aerospace and automotive applications and environments that are extremely harsh and challenging.
