Hopefully he didn't run the EGT high to melt pistions.I just installed a Ford factory (ATS) turbo, that I found on Craigslist. It came with pretty much everything needed, except for new gaskets which I grabbed off fleabay.
Installed it on my 1990 F250 that had just been rebuilt because the 26 year old head gasket failed and the engine hydro locked on start up and bent a piston rod.
Big difference from before. I went ahead and grabbed some nice large exhaust pipe from a. Upull place and that made a nice difference as we. I was getting about 10lbs of boost which was plenty for my needs. Just some minor fine tuning of the system. (Some small leaks) and I would be done I figured.
Went into the hospital to have a kidney stone removed, and a buddy of mine borrowed my truck to rescue his truck and trailer that had broke down about an hour away.
I get out of the hospital to find out he over heated my truck. Now it's at the shop and I'm just waiting to see how much damage he did.
Anyway...Even if they have to pull the engine replace the head gasket or even the head for that matter... It's still a lot cheaper that a lot of trucks you see out there that have 270,000 miles on them. Alot cheaper
