well it looks like i'm SOL for the ported housing. dam ford engineers. unless any one knows of any one who makes one?

remember, e99

 

Forgot you have a E99...

Check out the D66 turbo... Good turbo option there for the E-99 guys.

 

ok i'll check it out. i found one on BDPs' website and if that is the picture of it it doesn't look like it will bolt up. it actually looks like the turbo off of the OBS. now if i go that route, will it get rid of my surge issues?

 

well i was pulling the same trialer again from byers to denver/ golden. it's right about a 55 mile trip. going out there was just fine. coming back i was doing good for about 5 miles. i had cruise set about 78 mph. all of a sudden it just turned cruise off and really started boggin down. it was a struggle to get back above 70. a few miles of that i was back to doing 80 no problem. then the surge came. My boost was reading 19 psi. and i was at about 2,600 rpm. what could have caused it to bog down? this is starting to get aggrivating.

 

If the truck cant pull the power needed to maintain speed the cruise will turn off. Try down shifting.

 

i usually tow with my overdrive off, i let it kick into overdrive only on straight flats and thats about it, other wise i kick it off

 

i forgot to mention that it's a 6 speed manual. i know that 65 in 4th gear is right at 2700 rpm. i guess i'm stuck in 4th when towing? now when it does surge, shoudn't the needle on my boos gauge be fluctuating?

also, other than the surge issues. is the under power related to my turbo?
