    Turbo?

    I should be able to fab a few pipes if need be, a friend of mine owns a diesel shop (they primarily work on cummins and cat) but he should be able to help me bend some tubing if need be. Also what is the price on this kit? I know they are quite salty to begin with, cheapest I've seen was 1,900 new.

    IDI OIL LEAK OR CONSUMPTION?

    I will try that see if it works, if not I priced one at Ford and its $66.32+tax which is more than I have to spend at the moment. Another friend of mine says they dont really matter on these but his 7.3 IDI is turbo charged and doesnt have one. But I will still check to make sure.
