OK you have me sold.. I registered just so I can keep tabs on this Thread. I have built several custom turbo cars and this sounds like a good next project BUT since you have already done all the hard work I'd be interested in a price as well.
You have done a GREAT job on your set up.
Hurry and get that thing on the dyno I want to see some numbers and I want a price.
I'd even be interested in just the hot and cold side piping... I can order all the rest of the parts myself if I had the piping.

Great job man

Me Me ME!!!! I want one too! Work with a 3v F250 I suppose just fine right?

Turbo10: when do you expect to have a price on this kit? What turbo is that?

Turbo10: so what's the final verdict?
did you take the turbo set up out or did you leave it in and perfect it?
How much for a kit?

Cool set up! Cant wait to see more

Any possibility that you can modify this kit for the 5.4L 3V engine?

That should take less work, the lighting manifolds would not have to have the mods they do for the V10s.

I've never looked into it, so I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Lightning manifolds won't work on the 3V 5.4 engines.

The L headers are for 2V engines. I think they're configured differently, with different mounting points.

Stewart

That was my understanding as well...

That is correct-the 3V manifolds will not bolt onto a 2V head. The bolt pattern and port style are completely different.

I would love to have a turbo as well. I'm going to subscribe as well!

Not being familiar with the 3V's, I wasn't sure. But knowing the Gen 2 L intimately, I figured everything was configured differently.

Thanks for verifying that, Johnny!

Turbo 10,
You are killing me...any news?

I am not trying to start a hashing session, but I am curious. All of the V10 vs PSD discussions, just an addition of a turbo to a V10 would really narrow the gap in differences, wouldn't you think? With that in mind, the cost difference of a diesel would probably be more than a turbo kit for a V10. Keep in mind that I like diesels. Just a curious observation.

Sorry, I did not mean to give bad advice.

I thought I knew what I was talking about.

TURBO GASSER V-10 ?
I have a super-mint '05 V-10 4wd. Sad to say, like most of them, it came with 3.7's. That means, when towing our 11,000 lb. worth of yacht and trailer, I can forget about overdrive. And even fully loaded garbage trucks pass me on those long up-grades here in the mountain west.

Sooooo...damn..a turbo. sounds great. But here's my question. Won't a turbo. increase the raw power of my V-10 gasser motor ? A BIG increase ?

Isn't there something connected to that V-10 gasser motor of mine ? Something called a TRANSMISSION ? How come the diesels have a bigger, stronger TRANSMSSION to deal with THEIR big increase in power over my gasser? How come you can't order that much more powerful diesel motor with the TRANSMISSION I have in my gasser V-10...? Anyone have any ideas...?
