banks, hypermax, PDR are the only kits i know of. now if you want to build your own kit you can use spearco, stock 7.3 or 6.0, banks, hypermax, DI, diesel power products,

You can install a Superduty IC in an OBS, I have done it twice...

You can buy a Banks IC kit, but there rather expensive. From time to time you will see our vendors do a group buy on just the tubes and such without the IC, then you can add a superduty IC...

Really depends on your level of mechanical ability...

Thought I had some pic's of the brackets we fab'ed but I cant find them.

Also, you must get your hands on an Early 99 Y pipe to do this on a OBS... At least easily.

I know of a few around, let me know if your looking for one.

I am interested, but I have one more question before I get into the y pipe. Couldn't I take in intercooler out of a 99 7.3L and throw that in my truck?

Yes, a 99 is a "superduty".

However you need the EARLY 99 SUPERDUTY Y pipe, it has the smaller 2" intake plentums like your OBS has, it is set up for the shorter pedistal like you have...

In order to run a late 99-2003 7.3 set up you would have to swap out all the other crap.

Can be done, but costs a bit more which puts you right back with the BANKS kits.

Take the intercooler and pipes but you need to find an early99 spyder.
