This results in excessive axial and radial shaft play, compressor wheel rubbing, and oil weeping into the intercooler piping. Concurrently, factory wastegate actuators fatigue, bleeding off drive pressure prematurely and triggering low boost, elevated exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), and sluggish towing response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis OEM-spec \u003cstrong\u003eGTP38\u003c\/strong\u003e turbocharger is engineered specifically for late-model \u003cstrong\u003eP131\u003c\/strong\u003e platform trucks. Built with a balanced rotating assembly (CHRA), high-nickel ductile iron turbine housing, and precision-profiled compressor wheel, it withstands continuous thermal loads without shaft deflection. The internal wastegate is pre-calibrated to factory cracking pressure, ensuring accurate boost control across the RPM band. It retains standard pedestal oil feed and drain port geometries, ensuring a bolt-on seal without custom lines or machining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 GTP38 Turbocharger Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1999-2003 Ford F-250, F-350\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e7.3L Powerstroke (T444E) \/ P131\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e250 hp \/ 505-525 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1831383C92, F81Z-6K682-CARM, 702012-0010, 702012-0012, 706447-9003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999.5-2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999.5-2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999.5-2003 Ford F-450 Super Duty 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999.5-2003 Ford F-550 Super Duty 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000-2003 Ford Excursion 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the P131 F-250, F-350?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the late 1999.5-2003 Ford F-250, F-350 equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e7.3L Powerstroke\u003c\/strong\u003e diesel engine. \u003cstrong\u003eNote: This unit does not fit Early 1999 models built prior to 12\/07\/1998, which utilize a smaller compressor housing, different intake boot size, and distinct pedestal geometry.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to prime the center section before starting?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you must prime the CHRA oil inlet port with clean diesel motor oil prior to running the engine to prevent instantaneous bearing scuffing on initial dry start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Super Duty Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle the high exhaust gas temps and continuous shaft speeds of heavy-load towing, this GTP38 unit restores the critical airflow dynamics and low-RPM pulling torque the 7.3L platform is trusted for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67895982293240,"sku":"DS-EJUXUIXJ3","price":323.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/turbocharger-gtp38-for-ford-f-250-f-350-super-duty-1999-2003-7-3l-powerstroke-1.jpg?v=1793290195","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/turbocharger-gtp38-for-ford-f-250-f-350-super-duty-1999-2003-7-3l-powerstroke","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
