Hey guys i havent done my signature yet but i have a 90 ford f250 with 7.3 and 5spd it hasa holley red fuel pump and rebuilt injection pump and rebuilt front end

Anyway i just got a turbo set up for $200 it is a garret a/r. 70 and has the intake box 2.25" dp and y collector i believe it has a wastegate?! Looks like it it has some actuator?! And i think it has oil return and pickup

Mainly wondering if anyone knows where to get the upgrade kit for the turbo? Bigger a/r and bigger dp?

Any other items i need i think i need passenger valve cover but i dont know about exhaust manifolds or anything else

Or am i wasting my time and should i just rebuild the turbo i have any ifo muxh appreciated

You dont need a bigger a/r, and ATS doesnt support the system anymore, so do some searching on here and you will find how to mod the elbow.
I do turbo mods during rebuild so can help there. Involves machining the comp housing for a larger wheel.

So do you do machining and rebuild for these? I have cash and am just excited to get this project underway if so how much

It sounds like you have an 093 ats (factory turbo from a 94) russ definitely knows his stuff. So you are in phoenix, if you want to use someone local there is one shop I know is pretty good, I just can't comment on his pricing

Well i dont believe it is a factory one cayse it has the ats airbox and notthe one that said ford

And what do you mean mod the elbow im no noob to a wrench but the only diesel experience i have is military so just r and r there but have done quite a few gasser builds i just want whatever i can get out of this thing and ive heard about the ats upgrades on there housingand it seems like a good set up

Check jamoos thread about modding the outlet elbow.

I am going to quote the turbo rebuild and upgrade high because the last 4 have all been damaged beyond repair and it is cheaper/less labor to do a new chra . so
For the 60 -1 wheel upgrade and all new center section it runs about 460.00 machining included.

That doesnt seem horrible is the mod worth it im mainly in it for mpg so i want to flow decent. Or is the ine i got but rebuilt more just what id want cause right now n/a im getting 22 @65 and 2050-2100

so is that pretty much $460 for a new turbo?

that pricce does not seem bad at all.
