how about a 4" downpipe?
I am looking at rebuilding the old lady's turbo, but with a .84 AR exhaust housing and a wicked wheel compressor, and it is recommended that I use an intercooler, but that is out of the budget, so to help out, I thought it might be a good Idea to put in some monster exhaust for now. Does anyone have any experience with a 4" down pipe? Is it something that I can do with just a little squeezing and squishing? I heard porta power somewhere... Any advice here would be much needed help. Thanks

her truck is in the sig, what is an obs?, and why would you have the 1.0 housing over the .84 housing when they are both the same cost($165)?. Her truck is still running fine, there is just a lot of oil in the y pipe when I changed the fuel pump the other night, (major PITA) and thought I ought to rebuild my spare so I could swap it out before there is a problem. I am of the opinion that whatever is worth doing is worth doing right, and most major repairs like that one just cry out for a nice upgrade while I am at it.
This truck has redeemed the powerstroke name in my eyes...

Yeah if it wasn't for the porta power there would have been no way I would of got it in,I actually ordered a 3" but the guy ordered the wrong one and I already had payed for it and they wouldn't let me return it so it was either pay for another one or make the 4" fit...I wont be going to the diesel performance shop here ne more after that

I finally settled on 3" into 4" downpipe turbo back system from MBRP for 388 shipped. Also am going with the .84 housing and the wicked wheel. Going to take the my exhaust housing down and have a bushing spray welded in it for my pyro, so I can keep an eye on it, and if nothing else, when I get done dumping money into my dodge turbo too, I might start looking for an intercooler for the old obs.. Will post a follow up after I get the shaft and wheel back from the balancer and get it all in.
