7.3 Power Stroke versus 7.3 non turbo
I was wondering for Ford's 7.3L engine at what year did they offer a turbo for the F250 and F350 models? Which is honestly better for long term durablity- turbo or no turbo? At what specific date for the 7.3 did they offer a turbo? When was the engine computer controlled compared with all mechanic which I suppose is more relaible? I don't want to spend a ton of cash everytime need to buy a part. Is turbo and engine computer controled in the 1995 truck?
I saw a 1995, F350 that was an automatic with 152,000 miles, 7.3 turbo, 4 door crew cab, long bed (long bed came from a sinle tank truck, but seller was going create another fuel top by cutting the exteior sheet metal. All this $4500.

I have a "new" questions: How come you see very few 4X4 F250 and F350 Diesel pickups? While this 1991 7.3 L IDI does'nt have a turbo, can I easily add one with not much cost? Would one be easy to install a turbo? What other upgrades can I do to the stock engine? 300,000 miles is'nt a lot of miles if typical wear parts have been repaired / replaced as nessary? Thanks Paul

If you're going to do that, just get a powerstroke and forget the IDI. They can't take much boost and still don't make squat for power even with a turbo. They are worlds better with a turbo, but still nothing impressive by today's standards. I watched a 7.3 IDI with a turbo on the dyno at our local dyno day this past year, it did something like 190hp and 250 ft/lbs...
