I picked up a turbo IP From a 93, Was told it was working when removed, But since I have not seen it work I would consider it a rebuildable Core.
are you sure thats not just a difference between an '86 6.9 pump and a late 7.3 pump? i mean, you pulled your 7.3 turbo pump off a turbo truck obviously, but maybe the non-turbo trucks of the same year (93 and 94) are the same?
difference in turbo and non
Non turbo pump maxxed i made 20psi of smoke free boost
Turbo pump maxxed i made 28psi rolling a big cloud of coal
Worth a lot more after you send them to DPS or Mel, they are the preferred cores for DPS turbo cal and Moose pumps, much less tweaking needs to be done. Supposedly they do have a different timing and fueling curve than a regular DB2 from the factory. What would I pay for it, core value for a turbo pump, whatever that is.
which one blew the head gasket?

Yeah the 7.3 pumps move a bit more fuel, no doubt about that. I insisted on the 7.3 spec pump on mine when I had added the turbo and gauges and unexpectedly needed a new IP even though I had to pay extra to scrounge a like core here on OB (thanks Towcat) for pretty reasonable. I was this close to buying a DPS pump but I wasn't quite sure I could trust Ken to get on it in a timely fashion and I couldn't wait for a Moose Pump so I did the best I could stock wise. At that time I thought the turbo pump would be a waste unless I also bought G code injectors but it appears to work fine with BB codes, and probably DPS gushers and Moose Misters as well as the G codes. I still think the timing and fueling curves are slightly different with the factory turbo pumps, just not sure how noticeable that difference is.
