try taking out the washers.
that should give it alittle bit of drop.

 

['94IDITurbo7.3]

On my factory turbo there is a thick rubber gasket filling the gap.

 

[Donsbad89]

There are no washers under the cdr bracket those are bumps made into the casting where it's threaded. My 92 didnt have a rubber washer?

 

[reklund]

There's supposed to be a rubber gasket in there.

 

[Donsbad89]

I'll pull it back apart tomorrow and see if I missed it somehow.

you're missing the rubber washer gasket that normally goes from the CDR to the intake manifold. see pic. your pic is the same standard turbo Banks puts in their wastegated turbo hit. here's another pic of the same turbo only difference I mounted on a factory GM6.5 turbo motor. It takes a fairly quick truck and turns it into a banshee. I can nail 10psi at 1500rpm

i robbed a Banks WG turbo designed for a 7.3 idi and bolted it onto where the GM factory turbo used to go.

 

[FordGuy100]

Yup that's your TE06H turbo I mentioned earlier

 

[Donsbad89]

I feel like I was mislead. Oh well. I'll pull the cdr blockoff tomorrow and see if I missed the gasket

 

[Late_99_psd]

6.5 = DOH!

 

[f-two-fiddy]

If You can't find the CDR gasket, I think I've got a few laying around.

I'm going to call them today and see if there is a revised kit and if they just sold me old inventory or if there isnt a new kit for the IDI. Either way I'm sure this kit will serve its purpose.
