i left mine in place and finished the externals with high temp resistant tape. It never gets hotter than 110 so its fine. i am getting some more for the #7 line as it gets to 130, needs to be less for me. love my laser temp gun.

Posted from dieselbombers. Exactly as i thought.
"Before you try to adjust it, take the actuator off, the rod is pinned from the factory, you have to take the end off it and run a tap through it before adjusting it, or you'll break it. But do yourself a favor and get some gauges."

bro i know i already twisted the shaft, it aint gonna budge, ford did this to limit the tinkering we are so well known for. i checked! hahaha. It has about 1/8" of free movement and will travel in that range freely, but the indents hold it really tight because they are on both sides. ill drill tomorrow but like i asked, would i just sit unboosted if i break it?
sorry i was sounding repetitive with the soaking that was my fault, but see i was on the same page as you i was sayin go for the drilling
i guess i should slow down hahahaha

Never uploaded the pics of the final product. Just need some loom on the yellow wires to the right and some paint on the firewall.

they are undercoated with charcoal grey and then sticker was applied, then coated silver and sticker removed.
The wastegate needs more tuning but the drill method worked well, just dont go too deep or it will weaken the bolt and it may twist off.
speaking of the international stuff, i am going to have my dad recoat the stack and stencil similar international stuff on with the ceramic coatings. Should be sweet. But i will probably wait till i get back to the states, it is friggin stupid with shipping times.

well i did it like this,
first i moved the wiring for the glow plug controller over to the right and out of the way.
then i re routed all of the fuel lines as mine came up that side.
this allowed me the function while making the adjustments i needed to put the turbo on.
After this is done, id put in the new trans tube. what kind of trans do you have again?
Then bend the firewall. do the cuts like i showed in the pics.
Once all of this is knocked out, get ready because the truck will be down.
Remove the exhaust and install loosely the exhaust y collector, along with the crossover.
then the turbo should be able to fit in. Dont forget the never seize on the downpipe and up pipe slip connections.
if you use the riser from the oil pressure sender on the back of the block, drill out the hole larger to allow for more oil flow. more will come to me but hey, its all on fly!
