Will a turbo from a 2008 6.7 bolt on to a 2016 6.7?
As the wiring different between the two on the actuator?
Do they use the same actuator?

No one knows???
Given the turbo actuator actually communicates with the ECM via a data bus it won't make the jump in generation of trucks.
For your '16, turbos from '13-'18 will work. There is many aftermarket manufacturers that make plug-n-play turbos for these trucks.

I believe what you’re looking for is called a 2nd gen swap. Try Cummins forum. You’ll find a lot more information on how to do this.

No, not looking for the 2nd gen swap.
Just wanted to know if a 2008 (HE351VE) turbo will bolt on to a 2016.
I believe the actuators are interchangeable w/ the use of a cross-over cable.
