Intake Plenum Removal.
Simple as that. I will be doing my IC piping and replacing the 2" intake plenums with 3" plnums this weekend and wanted to know how difficult they are to remove. How many of you all have done them? I already have some of the good grey FORD sealant for them, but I just wanted any advice on removal and installation.
I have heard others say you need to take the turbo off to do so and this surprised me. Do I really have to take the turbo off to get to all the bolts and remove them. Any hints or tricks would be much appreciated...Hell this doesn't seem like it should be a big deal to get them done. Its seems as time consuming as the valve covers...
I know it needs to be cleaned up very well before reinstall.
Thanks All...

Dang was not hoping to hear that....I have never taken the turbo off on this truck are there any links of how to do so, and will I need to replace any parts on the turbo (Orings/gaskets) once its off? If I need to order these parts I might wait a couple weekend till I can get the parts.
I was going to try to knock out the piping and plenums in a day but I might need to allow a bit more time I'm guessing....

Just read a very long write up and it does not seem like a easy quick thing to do and whiule its off I probably should rebuild it. I noticed there are quite a few things that need to be ordered and replaced to remount it....
Almost makes me wish I could just get a SD turbo and pipes while I'm doing it.....

You need pedestal orings, exhaust flange gasket, and turbo rebuild kit(if you wanna rebuild it) clay has everything you'll need.
The R&R of turbo and plenums will take a day and IC pipes another day

That would be a step backwards. Our turbos are an upgrade for the Super Duty trucks, not the other way around. You've heard of the Whicked Wheel right? That's a STOCK '94 - '97 wheel they put into the SD turbos...

Thanks Jim
I will be sending the injectors this fall to you for Stage 1's. Do you do a stage 1.5 or so, instead of full on 2's? I do not want to be going up to a bigger turbo and feel 2's would be stressing the stock turbo a bit too much. Even with water injection and an Intercooler.
Thanks again
Thanks Mike...

Man thats a great write up. To be quite honest it looks very simple besides the issues of accesing a few of those bolts. Rebuilding the turbo looks a bit harder being a noob at it.
Going to go pick up some wobble sockets at Sears on the way home to make this easier...
Ok now I have another question! Since I'm going to have the EBPV off the turbo, is there any way I can completely disable it, and have it free flowing like and EBPV delete or something along those lines.... I'd like to get rid of it.
