I love my IDI but the last time I towed with it there was much left to be desired. SO, I've been thinking about turbo-ing it. I've done some research on the wastegated vs non and such. Pretty much the only systems I've seen available, as far as kits go would be ATS, Banks or Hypermax. I've went through the internal battles of is it worth sinking the money into a turbo (new or used) or selling and moving up a few years into a powerstroke.
My concerns are, how much is the support for these older dinosaurs going to be around? ATS no longer makes their kits ( I don't know how much they support in parts, if at all). Banks and Hypermax are the only ones that still sell new kits but they've been rumored to be getting out for years now. IIRC Delphi is no longer making injectors.
I'd love to find a nice, affordable, used "kit" but wonder how easy it'll be to find missing parts, or any parts years to come down the road.
Until I figure out what I want to do for sure, I'll just keep fixing it up a little at a time. It's just at 126k miles it's about to the point where I know injectors/pump are coming. If I can help it I'd like to plan that to go along with a turbo.
I know it all comes down to preference. Just thought I'd get some reassurance to keep it, insights, and maybe even some different unbiased opinions lol.
