    blakpete91 88 F-250 IDI Build thread

    Long time has passed since I've posted anything on here. Figure it's time for a 6 year update. Started by picking up a set of '03 super duty axles and shoehorning them underneth. Modified a RSK for a 97 to fit the front leaf springs. Also went with some new Cooper Discovery tires on some...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    Update: Shipping came through and I got the wicked wheel. I slipped it on but found it grazes the housing ever so slightly. Nothing a little sand paper won't fix. I'm crunched on time since it's midterms week and I'm going to moab this coming weekend. Ordered banks down pipe as well as a VDO...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    Rebuild kit came in. I was happy with the kit from GPopShop. Came with detailed instructions an all the pieces were identical to what was on the turbo. Turbo is half way assembled. Just waiting on the compressor wheel to come in this Friaday.

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    Thanks typ4 I'll try the vise trick. Any idea on where I could get a down pipe that would fit the stock exhaust housing. I'm willing to try anything other than the smashed one I have already.

    Update: Cleaned up every part I could with a toothbrush. GPOP shop rebuild kit should come in tomorrow (weather permitting). I went ahead and ordered the wicked wheel before reading the rest of the comments but oh well guess I'll let yall know how well it works. A couple of questions do I need a...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    The ebay link was just a vendor I found. Here is the actual website for the wicked wheel. From what I understand you just drop it in and go. http://www.dieselsite.com/wickedwheelforthe7.3LIDI.aspx I held out on the compressor wheel until I can do a little more research. As for the housing...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    Thanks guys will go back Monday and snag it. Didn't even cross my mind until I got home and started looking more into it. Ordered the rebuild kit, a new compressor wheel, and a larger 3 inch exhaust housing to accommodate the 3 inch down pipe. C_Luft I'll keep your offer in mind. Not sure...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    I got the turbo taken completely apart. Just needed some persuading. Could anyone point me in the right direction for a rebuild kit? Thinking of buying this one. http://gpopshop.com/products-page/garrett-t3-t4-t3t4-kits/garrett-t3t4-hybrid-rebuild-kit-2/ One thing I did not grab off the...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    Thank you, I was worried that someone had taken a grinder to that nut and that it wouldn't be balanced. Local shop wants around 400 for a full rebuild. I figured I could save myself some money and do it myself. the fourth picture down is as far as I have gotten it disassembled. I can't seem to...

    Picked up a complete turbo kit for $96 dollars

    As the title says I was in the junkyard looking for a glow plug controller since mine took a dump (Picture below). The yard only had five or so 7.3 IDI's and when I looked in the last one lo and behold it had a factory turbo on it. I knew I couldn't leave it there because tomorrow it would be...

    Looking at adding a turbo

    As the title states I'm in the market for adding a turbo system to my 7.3 IDI. I've been lurking the boards lately and came across the "moose boost". Would I be able to run this system along with an inter-cooler safely? I've also heard that if I use an inter-cooler it's going to get in the way...
