This Hypermax dynamometer developed turbocharger system improves the already impressive performance of the 6.9L engine with an increase of up to 50% more power! Complete kit including turbo, tubes, hoses, gaskets, and hardware. Ford Van only.


Love that line



Exactly, impressive enough for me, the hell with that turbo




HOLY %^# You see the price on that???? I can buy almost 3 trucks for that price! Well..... yea.



I'm gonna post this up on OBN, i've heard of a few of 'em over there with vans looking for turbos.


And Quintin, you should re tittle this thread, saying, link to new Van only turbo kit, for those who'd be interested. They are hard to find!

I did, absolutely loved it, tons of nuts. Was such a downer when I popped open the hood, to find this big ugly black plastic covered thing under there, and seeing how harder it makes it to work on.



I love my big old round air cleaners, just like old carbed gassers


And the main reason, I HATE the turbo whistle. Can't stand it. The one I test drove wasn't bad for it, but still there. I love the big loud raspy bark from an N/A engine.

Why not haha....its not like it would not hurt the Van any at least. You should try it at least....you will get better mileage....means more money in your pocket....unless you like to floor it in that heavy pig....

I didn't buy a 6000lbs party van to save on fuel lol. Although, I am hoping it gets at least around 15mpg, the way I'll be driving. Mostly country roads/highway at 55.



But it already has a ton of ***** off the line, with the C6/4.11's. But it revs to high on the highway lol
