Oil leak
So I tore into it a bit more today and the piece for the turbo drain popped out of the Bally pan. I got some new sealant and stuck it back in there. Hopefully it holds. Giving it some time to cure then try to start it again. As far as the oil pressure sending unit I have a Dakota dash and...- Cgillman45

Order Lead Time
He’s anyone ordered from Wes at Classic Diesel Designs? I placed an order about two weeks ago and haven’t heard anything yet? What’s the typical lead time for his parts? I ordered a 90cc Pump and Stock injectors both with cores returned after.- Cgillman45

Turbo Charging
Aggie- They offer a basic kit without gauges and exhaust through Summit from what I’ve found. I’m just not great at welding and know I couldn’t fab something myself. Unfortunately the only Dp they offer separately is for the 7.3 factory turbo setup.- Cgillman45

Turbo Charging
Aggie- I already have a 4 inch exhaust kit from dynamax designed for the 7.3na. I am only interested in this particular kit because it is $800 cheaper then with the exhaust and gauges. I was looking into the HyperMax but decided against it. I will take a look at the other kits suggested above...- Cgillman45

I am in need of some help. I want to purchase the Banks Sidewinder turbo kit for my truck.
