96 info needed

i am building and nice big nasty 7.3 ps truck for mud racing and ripping down the street now i am a gm guy at heart and have a d max that i use for my daily driver and weekend warrior so these fords are a little diffrent to work on ive got the truck running good it idles smooth and fairly quiet for a 7.3 it dosnt smoke much when started cold but when its at operating tempature it takes long time to get it going it cranks exelent but wont fire up and when it dose it slowly comes to life and then it runs fine any suggestions on what to check before i start tearing threw the truck and i was wondering how much boost the turbo can make and the engine can handle and if the hpop out of a newer 7.3 will fit in it i planon useing stage 3 hybrids

Stock turbo can MAKE 35+ psi, but it won't live long at that pressure, around 30-32 is about as much as you should do
