Default 1997 7.3 has absolutly no power

I have a 97 7.3 that has no power what-so-ever. I just replaced the turbo, with a remanufactured tp-38. I have replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the little screen on the drivers side of the fuel bowl. I have checked all the injectors by unplugging them while it is running. I replaced the lift pump, and still it has no power. It doesnt smoke at all hardly, and idles fine.


I would really really appriciate any help on this issue.

Probably a weak hpop or a bad injector.

Factory injectors? Factory HPOP?

Have you done a compression test?

this about sums it up. I bet the injectors and hpop are shot.

Rosewoods stage 1 injectors and Terminator Engineering t500 hpop

There is no way to know to know that without testing them.
