    Turbo swap

    Wondering if it’s as simple as swapping my hypermax turbo out for a factory Garret that ford used in 93 on my 7.3. Or will I need to do a bunch of swapping of pieces to make it work.

It’s not antifreeze and the radiator is full of antifreeze and the truck did not over heat or have any problems. Runs and idles great. The...

    Wicked wheel 2

    I replaced my stock compressor wheel with a wicked wheel 2. I can hear it spooling up good but the gauge isn’t showing any boost. I’m not sure if my gauge is bad or what. Also when I hooked on to the camper to pull it, it seemed to be really low on power and didn’t have the get up and go. It was...

    Turbo trouble

    well I figured out why my 7.3 idi with the hypermax kit wasn’t building boost. My question is do I just need to replace the compressor wheel or is something more needed to be replaced? It doesn’t have end play it just has a little side to side play. I took a picture of the compressor wheel.

    Boost troubles

    7.3 idi with hypermax turbo set up installed. I’m having a problem building boost if it’s hot out side.

    Low boost

    7.3 idi with a hypermax kit added. It was added by the previous owner. Engine was originally a NA. I’m getting low boost readings. The most boost I seem to be able to build is about 2-3lbs. It doesn’t seem to have the pep and boost it did when I first got the truck. Any ideas what could be...
