i have a 1991 f250 with a 7.3 idi n/a
i have a factory ford idi turbo
i pulled crossover pipe and down pipes off another idi turbo
im trying to convert my truck into a turbo now.
anyone have any pointers or tips?
and i need an airbox assembly for the turbo..
any help would be appreciated!!

 

from what ive read it will work,
my main concern is the pyrometer and what it will be putting out temp wise,
im going to turn my pump up 3 flats, does this sound safe?

 

I would go a flat at a time and watch your pyrometer, the turbo will work did it to my dads 92,change the down pipe to 3 inch throw the squished pipe away. I used some aluminum tubing on it. If you know a good muffler shop they can custom build you one.

 

you should make you a cold air intake instead of the factory airbox,and 2 flats would be about right from n/a to turbo for the stock setting.

 

2 is what mine took to come out right. And I built my own cold air I think I still have the factory box if you still want to go that route ill look for it and send it to you
A little off topic but has anyone mounted turbos under the cab im in the middle of a twin turbo setup but im having a problem getting the oil back into the pan. Im running a small garret turbo off an audi and a bigger turbo off a cat 3406 its all installed and works great and there is almost no lag but the oil is pushing through the seals in the turbos

And to much fuel is fine to little fuel is bad a good way to set your pump is turn it up and back it of till it just barely smokes my egts ran between 850 and 1400 if I pushed her hard on the stock set up
