so would this work on ats's Aurora 5000?
Aurora 5000's come in both T3 and T4 exhaust housings and you would just need to know which you are getting - then it would bolt down onto any T3 or T4 pedestal respectively.
For cast pedistals your choices that I know of are:
ATS
HTT
Bullseye
BD
For tubular fabricated pedistals your choices I know of are:
Pro-Fab (RDL) made to your specs
PPE
due to the "V" of the v-8 you have to raise the turbo up when you go larger then stock basically.
Nice quote from Diesel Power but you need a pedistal because the stock turbos are duramax specific and basically have a pedestal built into them - the up-pipes bolt directly to the turbo. When you swap to an aftermarket T3, T4 or T6 turbo you need a pedestal to mount it on - the up-pipes bolt to the pedestal then the turbo bolts down on the pedestal; it's basically a "Duramax turbo adapter". It is true that you often need a tall pedestal or a spacer to get a big turbo up high enough to route the intake tubing to it, but even with a 4088 or 4094 that sits low and that you can use the stock LLY and newer intake tubing on you still need a pedestal.
