The motor features a Holset 7cm HE221W turbocharger with billet compressor, electronic 6 mm injection pump, and standalone DSL1 ECU.

Is this still for sale?
Hi Jody. I do not believe the truck is still for sale. The ad and the video are no longer available.
Need to find the person who did the swap. Are you in contact with him ?
I am sorry. We are not in contact with the owner. We came across this listing from another website and shared it on ESD.
I believe this forum post on 4BTSwaps is of the same truck. Their last post was in 2020.
