Can't beat either of those prices. You're going to earn it. Since you know how to wel and fabricate well you may be able to devise your own solution to the downpipe issue. All you need is to modify the exhaust flange to take a 3" downpipe and that turbo is kick butt awesome....at least to 12-15 psi which is as high as you want to go on stock internals with a stock turbo anyway, even with studs. Being your truck is an 86 it's going to have the screw in head latching relay glow plug controller so at this point you have two very good options. Option one is to grab the glow plug controller and wires from that 93 truck. They do not do well in extreme heat and Ford and IH knew this and moved the controller away with some slightly longer wires and associated odds and ends. My truck had a stock latching relay and I upgraded to the later system. My controller has always been in the battery tray where the old 6.9 power relay lived. If you do this spend the few extra bucks it takes to get the factory glow plug harness out of there unless it is real mouse eaten. This is SO much easier to do correctly than modifying your 6.9 harness for the ZD9 PTC glow plugs. The second option would be to keep your current glow plug system, unscrew the in head controller and replace it with a suitable pipe plug to get it out of the way and wire up a momentary toggle. It sounds like only you will be driving this truck and you are more than competent to do most all work on it. For people like yourself a momentary toggle is a great solution. I'd rather see you have 12V slow glow glow plugs form a 78 Olds diesel with that setup but they are expensive, the factory motorcraft ZD-1-A will hold up to the use of a toggle as long as you never leave them on more than 8-10 seconds. Anyways the momentary toggle is very simple even for a guy like me who's not very good at electronics,the pros of this are that you can save $$ and leave your current glows in there if they are motorcraft/beru or another premium brand like SLM/LDM or Wellmans. We don't like autolites or champions with these trucks. They have some good products but IDI diesel glow plugs are not one of them...no one knows why..we just know they tend to overheat and swell and lead people to have to worry them out, pull the head or risk engine damage by "passing" busted glow plug tips where this is relatively uncommon with better plugs. the berus work the best with either stock system. 12V AC Delcos probably are a great idea with a momentary toggle if you can get them cheap enough and you don't care about a long glow time. For me the 12V stuff is theoretical as the stock plugs are only rated at 6V, so they will heat up majorly fast. I have used ZD-1-As on a momentary toggle, and the ZD9s in a solid state(87 and later) stock system as well as Delphis in a 83-86 stock system, all worked well. As far as the turbo goes you must get all the cast pieces, up pipe, casting collector, turbo/snailshell and pedestal. You'd be more likely to be able to make some of this stuff than others but why do that when it's all there and cheap. As far as I know there really aren't a lot of little parts you are going to miss. The CDR(aka tuna can, PCV, crankcase vent adapter) is going to be mounted on one of the valve covers. You need this and the VC unless you want to rig up your own system or run a road draft tube but again...why do that when it's there? Also make sure you get the intae hat/swirl chamber right under the air box. You don't need that downpipe or crossover stuff, you're going to upgrade the DP anyway and crossovers are easy to bend out of stock exhaust tubing. It would still be helpful to have the old one as a template. Mine was full of rust and I was scared to use it. Good luck...I'm gonna imagine you'll earn that cheap turbo price by the time it's said and done.
