I have a turbo off a 98 12v and I am wondering if I should swap it on to my 93 CTD. Is this worthwhile or a waste of time?

 

If its free then yes I think its worth it. Little bit more air, better spool up. I would go for it!

 

Yes it's a take off from a motor I'm swapping into a 78 4x4. Looks like I'll try it out. Will it bolt up to the the stock down pipe?

 

dose it have the V-band? or the elbow on the back of the exhaust housing?

 

It has a cast elbow atached to the turbo housing by a clamp I assume it is a v band.

 

Well I finally got off my butt and did the swap. Just one little thing left to do. I still have to plumb the waste gate up to the intake manifold. I took it for a little run any ways and it does spool quick. I didn't get into the throttle too much. I'll hook up the wg tonight then try it out towing my race car tomorrow.

 

your hooking the WG to the intake man??

there should be a port on the compressor housing for it if you want a boost elbow for it let me know as I bought one for myself and never put it on its way more fun

 

Yea that's the plan. I'll try to do something like the 98 motor had. Probably put a tee off the fitting where the boost gauge is plumbed to.
