why isn't there a "bigboost" mod available for the 95's also how hard is it to instal a intercooler in a 95and lastly do these trucks run better with a single freeflowing exaust or a double?

Thanks

Can you elaborate? I've never heard of a 'bigboost' mod... what does it do?
EDIT on further investigation, are you talking about a 'boost fooler' for the map sensor? they do have those for the OBS's, but you won't need one unless you're seeing over 24lbs iirc...

Look here and scrool down to 'intercooler install'. Do you tow/haul a lot?

Because both exhaust manifolds run through up-pipes to the turbo and have one exit from there, a 4" single exhaust is really all these trucks need. Just note, the stock downpipe is very restrictive. Most swap them out for a 3" or tymar 3"-4" then run 4" straight back. That being said, I do have a custom fab dual 4" system, that splits before the rear axle... why? aesthetics. I like the looks of a dual system better, doesn't really need to be on there thought

OH NO... NOT HIM AGAIN...
Just take everything you see there and throw it out the window.
Read through these entire posts:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...st-longer.html
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...roke-help.html

Then come here and ask all the questions over.

I can't play vids on the computer i'm on now, but I'd imagine he's talking about a map sensor boost fooler. again they are available but only if you're throwing a CEL from overboost.

That's a good start on the exhaust. Again, the stock DP is very restrictive. If you're looking for an aftermarket one check out http://www.riffraffdiesel.com/mm5/merchant.mvc? Clay will get you hooked up

I like that, reflashing the computer is not invading the engine control electronics.

Wonder where he is located, I need that and my "Top Oil" changed.
