VGT Turbo from 07.5 to 12 on a 2016?

What are the thoughts and differences of putting a VGT turbo from 07.5 to 12 on a 16?

I know the plug is different but the way it bolts up and plumbs in is all the same.

So any one ever done this before.

Thanks in advance.

@DRD might know.

Let's ask the boss man...

I've never done it, so I dont know. My guess it would require changing the actuator to one 13-18 specific on the donor turbo.

Double R Diesel

They do have the adapter plugs from the old to the new which would prevent the switch out of actuators I'm guessing. Just wasn't sure if that was the only difference. Thanks for the reply

OK so I called BD diesel and they said the older ones wont work if your truck went in for a air bag recall because they put something in the software to make the aftermarket VGT turbos not communicate with the actuator.

So I'm not sure if my truck had that done so I would have to call the dealer and check.
