    Return line kit for Bio/WVO

    I just got new injectors and a return line kit from Russ and he knows I run SVO/BIO. The previous non-Russ kit has worked well for 50K miles without leaking or softening. Its nice to support Russ and his kits seem reasonably priced.

    Turbo not spooling?

    I just got the t60 upgrade from Russ plus some other upgrades. Quite a difference, earlier spooling and better boost throughout the power band. One satisfied customer.

    The Oilburners hall of shame

    Another bad experience with Parts Geek. They sent me rear shocks instead of front shocks. They did respond to my complaint after a week but their return policy, despite their mistake, makes me not want to risk having to pay return shipping and hope they will return my money.

    New ATS turbo- bad oil leak

    Alls well, I loosened all the pipe fittings and sawed off the Zf5 ear that was hitting on the y pipe. I made sure to tighten the pedestal bolts first. No oil leak now. Thanks all, Mike

    Cutting Zf5 ear for ATS turbo up pipe clearance?

    Some one suggested cutting the upper passenger side ear to allow the up pipe-y pipe to clear the tranny. I have an 87 F250 with an ATS T/3-T4 hybrid turbo. Anyone here heard of doing this?

    New ATS turbo- bad oil leak

    My recently rebuilt T3/T4 hybrid ATS turbo ( thanks Russ) on my 87 6.9 has a bad oil leak. I know there is a small Oring for the valley pan oil drain that I might have left out, but the leak seems higher, as I can see a drip from a rear left side bolt at about the 7 oclock position. Any advice...

    ATS Turbo Up Pipe upgrade?

    I'd rather not spend anymore money if it won't make much difference. But I still have a very loose connection between the two pipes and much soot in the area. Could this make for a tighter connection?

    What engine is this? Ford or IH ?

    Thanks guys, I don't think pics will show anything other than the numbers I gave you. I've scraped the IP area clean but will go over it again. Maybe it doesn't matter whether its a 6.9 or a 7.3, but Russ is rebuilding/upgrading my turbo and I'd like to give him accurate info.

    What engine is this? Ford or IH ?

    I'm trying to find out from the codes what year is it and if its a 6.9 or 7.3. II don't want to pull the valve cover to check the bolts unless absolutely necessary.
