MY turbo came in today. looks great.

got it installed in about 3hrs. went really good. was much smoother than i expected.

just have to tweak the firewall some more, "adjust" the bottom half of the DP to get it to clear the trans cross member, and then simply hook the rest of the exhaust up. i should be driving with in the next couple days.

make sure you retighten the housing bolts after a few runs. You may need to make a bendy wrench to get them all.
thanks

Hey whats with all the electrical crap on the oil line? I think the little one looks like a stock sensor...whats the big one? electrical temp or pressure?

Russ that looks quite nice in there!

'94IDITurbo7.3 · Jun 12, 2012

electric oil pressure sensor so i really know what my real oil pressure is.

'94IDITurbo7.3 · Jun 12, 2012

does anybody know where i can find a 4" to 4" exhaust pipe adapter. due to the fact that the extra piece of pipe that came with my exhaust system is not a true muffler delete pipe i need to get an adapter to use it.

thanks

Would that not require a Mechanical one though?????

Very valid point, that's why gauge isolaters are so good...but eh...I kinda like yer thinking/approach for sure!

Finally got the downpipe figured out and welded up.

Final weld on dp flange.

The end of the dp adjusted to get it to clear the trans cross member and point towards the rear of the truck

had to make a dent in the first half of the dp for firewall clearance.
