7.3 idi build need more ideas!

Wow dude you went from "not gonna go turbo" to "maybe supercharger or PSD turbo" to "just bought a turbo kit" in an amazingly short time!

Now you might want to research upgrades to that turbo kit prior to install.... like the larger exhaust housing and full-round downpipe, etc., as well as upgrades by typ4 or mel as funds and craziness allows!

*exciting update* just scored a stock ats turbo off a 94 idi ($400!)... its gonna need some tlc but owner says it spins and has little to no slack! thank you to everyone in the thread its been a pleasure!

now you either need to send that turbo to Russ, or exchange it with Mel.

the average person says " little to no slack"

people that can eyeball .005" will tell you that its sloppier than a Taiwanese *****.

either or, the choice is yours.

Typ4 rebuilt mine, and installed a WW2, i also purchased updated leak free castings.
he does take his time with them, but you will have an awesome product once it gets back.

Mel will send you a turbo, in exchange for your core, not certain if he has the castings as well.

the ATS is known for up pipe leaks, and these castings i speak of fixes this.

you must know if you have an aftermarket 093 or an OEM unit.
OEM has a v-band clamp on the down pipe.
aftermarket is a slipfit for the down pipe.
both ATS garrett turbos are damn near identical besides the down pipe connection.

thank you, the kit is the oem 1994 turbo, im pulling it off a truck a guy is parting out, i wont lay eyes on it till thursday

Make sure to get all the small parts. There are a few little items that are essential. Someone else will chime in with what those are. If you are pulling it off is the best way to get everything. Good luck.
