my 97 7.3 question
 

could i put a blow out valve on my stock garrett turbo on my 97 ford f-250 7.3 liter or could i put a adjustalbe waste gate on it

dont bother with either. with the amount of money youd spend on that you could buy better mods

Before we start shooting down his question, let's find out why he wants to know about it.

Why do you want/need either device you listed?

Well how could I get the best power out of my stock turbo. Could I add more boost and how and how could I get the turbo to spool faster and louder got a intake already bigger down pipe and straight pipe what else should I do

Or what are some mods for my turbo oh and how can I black smoke without my programer

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

well i thought maybe a blow out valve to keep my turbo from surging and i want a adjustable waste gate so i could increas boost

you want black smoke? put a bag over the air filter or take the turbo off then itll smoke, IF you want performance hold out for a smaller exhaust housing on the turbo $150 from beans or industrial injection, do the 10k resistor mod or hold out for a chip. smoke isnt power dude:s:

Smoke will never happen without a tuner of some sort unless you do as posted above and put a bag over your intake. Smoke doesn't mean power, It comes as a result of power but their are plenty of 250hp trucks blowin black smoke all around town. How cool are they when they can't put up? If your just lookin for smoke, please don't. When you go around town blowing smoke at every stop sign, all your doing is giving everybody a reason to look down on the Diesel truck community...

Now to answer your question. If you want to bring the boost faster, you can put a smaller housing on your turbo like a 1.0 housing. Your OBS truck's limiting factor is fuel. Your fuel injectors are small and therefore if you want power, you need to upgrade your injectors.

You already have intake and exhaust which is good. Next step is gauges to keep an eye on temps. Then stage 1 injectors and a chip are good for about 350 hp and don't require anything else to run them. That would be a good set up right there for a daily driver. If you have more cash and want more than that...You can get stage 2 or Hybrids and a chip...In this case you also need intercooler, Electric fuel, turbo, trans mods, HPOP, pushrods, springs studs...

does my turbo have a silencer ring and my buddie that is a pretty well diesel macanic he grew up in a all diesel shop and he told me to get rid of my stock garret turbo first and peta stool and go to a junk yard and get a 1999.5 to 2000 turbo

Your buddy isn't very smart. If you would like to go get a Superduty turbo go for it, but your only taking a step back going that route and he forgot to tell you that you need the turbo, pedistal, uppipes, and drivers side manifold to make that work on your truck.

No your turbo doesn't have a silencer ring. That is a Dodge thing.

What are you trying to do with the truck that you feel your stock turbo isn't capable of? The stock turbo is plenty fine with your stock injectors. If you want to bring the boost faster, get a 1.0 housing. If you want more air, get a D66. If you want more smoke, you need more fuel and a chip.

if your lookin to have a louder turbo pull the outer silencing ring. that will make it very noticable when it spools...now 95'powersmoker says there aint one so maby im fulla it becuase i am a dodge guy....or maby its just the T-66 big turbo's that have them either way im sure he knows what hes talking about and im not trying to contradict him i just know i had a 97 and it had a t66 with the silencer rings pulled (the seller said it though so idk if i fully believe him) just tryin to help. good luck!

Not sure what a t66 is but it sure aint a stock turbo on a powerstroke. His stock turbo is going to be a Garrett GTP38

a local diesel shop told me there is a silencer ring in my 97 but i would have to cut it out how would i do that cant i just take the turbo apart and what would i use to cut it

with all due respect, there isn't a silencer ring on the stock garrett turbo. like the other people have said, that's a cummins thing. and i believe they have a holset turbo. and if you would have to cut it out, then it is permanently fixed to the turbo.

and i think the t66 turbo is a cummins thing as well.

How about you leave your turbo the way it is and let it do its job the way it was built to run... If you want loud, Straight pipe, air intake. That's it. That's what you get. Like i said before, if you want to bring the boost faster, 1.0 housing. If you want smoke, chip and injectors OR remove turbo OR put bag over intake. Your stock turbo is fine.

I wouldnt wast your time or money on that bud

The PSD silencer ring is on early 6.0's cast into the turbo. Called a 20 year Ford Diesel Tech., and that is the only one he know's of. He's never seen one on a 7.3. He did say if there is one, it's a CA thing more than likely. He is a dealer guy, so I don't take it as scripture, but that's his input on it.

dodge uses the holset turbos, ford uses garret. i have rebuilt my turbo on my 96 and just like everyone else has said THERE IS NO SILENCER RING!!! my truck is loud as hell with the factory downpipe to a 8 inch cat stack. and the easiest way for smoke is to put a bag over the intake.
