I'm looking at beans diesel 1.00 AR exaust housing, its only $155 dollars or so. dunno how it would do with stock injectors. so you decided to powerstroke that F350? sounds like a cool project.

Good thread Erik! So I have a question on this matter.

Over at the ORG, most people are saying the 1.0 is a terrible idea even if you DONT plan to upgrade sticks.. they say it will cause poor egt's and will kill the top end. There are 2-3 guys over there tho in other threads saying that the 1.0 exhaust housing is amazing, even with stage 1s. I've even heard the 1.0 is a good upgrade for the super duty guys.

So whats the deal? If all I'm doing is intake/exhaust/tune/swamps idm and a VB, would a 1.0 housing be good? I do occasional heavy towing, a good chunk of back-roads/hilly driving, a lot of city driving...

What are "sticks"?

If i was only stock I would do it, as it will spool better on the bottom end. In the SD it is an upgrade because the stock housing is a .84

Injectors.

So you think with only the mods that I have listed that a 1.0 is a good idea? You dont think I'll lose any topend power?

Have you ever seen a powerstroke injector? They don't look like a stick.

I dont think you would

Leave the stock turbo alone. No reason what so ever to mess with the stock turbo on an OBS. If your wanting more, then go with a T4 or T4i mid frame turbo.

Yes powerstroke injectors look crazy

Joe, why do you say to leave the stock turbo alone?
