7.3 turbo upgrade

[mark7.3idi]

will a powerstroke turbo fit if i use the manifolds and pipes or will it be to hard

it'd be too hard, unless you're up to it, you'd have to come up with some way to get air into and out of it, and into the intake. The IDI's used a hat that bolted to the intake, I don't know how you could make that, and then mate it to the p-strokers outlet housing.

In reality, PSD turbos are just a little too big for IDI's anyway.

I bought one just to check it out and possibly determine the feasibility--those things are HUGE!

Now, if you made your own up-pipes and got the oil feed and drain set up, and a mounting bracket, it could certainly be done, but I'm not so sure it'd be much of a return on all your effort.

well actually im about to start this pretty soon, with a wastegated psd turbo,(thanks again punk) i dont think it will be that bad, i mean every one says it will be really hard, but how many people have actually tried it, not alot, i have a few tricks i learned from my dad to help it spool better i think it will work pretty good on mine, i may have to get a lower psi wastegate actuator so i dont over boost

the manifolds won't bolt up anyhow and the reason most say its too hard is simply because everything you need almost will have to be fabricated its not just a bolt on deal.

Dyoung14 what are you gonna do to make the turbo spool better? Just curious what you mean by tricks. Lol

 

[dyoung14]

i will find out pretty soon if i can get it to work or not.
