    Turbo problems

    And I'm getting no oil in the downpipe. I had a tiny bit of play to the turbo if I really pushed it, but other than that it spun free.

    Turbo problems

    Yes I've cleaned out the oil feed and the place where it comes from. The turbo was spinning freely the first time I mounted it, but when I had fed oil to it, it started to rub. I believe it needs a rebuild, upon searching EBay I found the housing, seals, and wheels for sale. I'm strangely...

    Turbo problems

    So I've mounted the turbo and oil feed. The holes I punched into the CDR/oil drain aren't doing it; It leaked a ridiculous amount from that spot. Also, once I plumed the oil to the turbo it seems to not want to spin... although it was spinning free when I had it out. So I'm stuck, I already had...

    Turbo sucking oil through the CDR?

    Yeah, it seems that all the old Navistar V8s acquired some blowby. Every IDI I've looked at has had some, and plenty of 7.3 powerstrokes as well. IDI's typically ran with more, I'd guess because of their high compression. Mine has it like a steaming kettle pot, so I'm running a Banks CDR adapter...

    tuff country vs rough country

    Thanks for the advice! I'm definitely leaning towards rough country, and I'll take a look at the shackle flip!

    ATS 088 Custom Intake. Where to connect CDR tube?

    That's awesome, I'm putting a Ford/ATS turbo on mine right now and I didn't want to run a RDT so I thought about bolting the CDR between the filter and turbo. Glad to see other people running it, I'll definitely post my progress!

    tuff country vs rough country

    So upon looking at lift kits to add some clearance and replace the negative arched front springs I've found rough country and tuff country. Rough country offers a 4" lift kit with new springs for the front and blocks on the rear. Blocks seem strange being that there are already blocks in the...

    Oh my bad, I was thinking about the engine oil dipstick. Thanks for correcting that!

    Crossover pipe for used ATS kit

    Thanks man, I think I'll just have an exhaust shop make the crossover.

    ATS turbo help

    Well I think you don't have to change the dipstick or its mount. I'm putting an ATS kit on my 87 6.9 and instead of replacing the passenger side valve cover with the turbo valve cover that the glow plug controller mounts to I will just move my glow plug controller to behind the passenger side...

    Crossover pipe for used ATS kit

    So my kit lacks a crossover pipe to join the up pipe to the turbo, is it possible to use the existing NA driver side crossover pipe and clamp on a flex pipe to be clamped to a ball joint clamp that goes onto the turbo up pipe?

    6.9 IDI ATS turbo kit glowplug/controller problems

    Yeah it seems to be pretty solid, the turbo has 0 wear at all!

    How thick is the exhaust manifold ?/Pyro probe Q

    I think a 1/8" tap is what everyone says. I think I'll just buy the Banks downpipe replacement and add 200-300 degrees.

    6.9 IDI ATS turbo kit glowplug/controller problems

    Okay thanks man! This is my first diesel and I picked up the kit minus the crossover pipe for under 200$ all of it in good condition so I had to!

    6.9 IDI ATS turbo kit glowplug/controller problems

    Ohhhhhh... so just lengthen the brown wire that goes to the left hand/driver side glow plugs, bolt the controller behind the battery, and it should be good. What type of wire did you splice in to lengthen it?

    6.9 IDI ATS turbo kit glowplug/controller problems

    Also I do not have the RH valve cover.

    N/A IDI Turbo Conversion

    A used ATS isn't too bad, just make sure you can get the 2 piece up pipe apart before hand. I've already broken a rubber mallet and used a can of WD40!

    6.9 IDI ATS turbo kit glowplug/controller problems

    Hey everybody, this is my first time posting although I've been reading these forums for at least a year! I've started installing a used ATS turbo kit on my 87 6.9 IDI, my problem is where and how do I relocate the glowplug controller and the wiring. It doesn't seem to want to move very far once...
