I am putting a new engine in my 1992 ford
f super duty.
The new motor is a 6.9 idi I am throwing around the idea of putting a 73 power stroke. Turbo on it or possibly 2 turbos.

I don’t think the power stroke turbo is viable based on previous times this has been asked - you are welcome to prove us all wrong though. Easiest to just use an idi turbo and save the time/money/fab efforts and sanity for other projects
Good luck and double turbo would be awesome

I would have liked to use the factory, IdI turbo. But the engine and transmission I got had the industrial bell housing. Which will not allow me to use the factory up pipes. So i've already made headers to suit my situation the only problem I'm not sure about is If the twin turbos, we'll spoil up in a reasonable amount of time.

Came across this video this past winter and he says himself it's a pretty redneck twin turbo build but it works. at the very least it might be good inspiration and maybe will help with other things
