Turbo upgrade
Hi i am wondering what a good turbo would be for my 1st gen 12v cummins. I'm looking for a good whistle without having to buy a bunch of new parts foe the truck. Send me your suggestions

Welcome to DTR.
For what you see, to be looking for, I would recommend a 2nd gen turbo and remove the silencer ring.
It might help if you tell us what year 1st gen 12V you have so we know intercooled or Non..

You will need to clock the turbo to use it on your non intercooled truck.
Check out The Hungry Diesel's web site for the crossover tube they sell that will make the swap go smoother.

I'm working on massaging the the compressor outlet to adapt it into the stock crossover using a 2"-to-2.5" silicone reducer.
Maybe not be the ultimate in performance, but it will be a very cheap mod.
