Turbo help
I have a 1989 7.3 ford NON turbo and im going to install a turbo. My question is how does a turbo work? I am aware that exhaust goes into one hole and the intake goes in the other. I Know hardly anything about this and i am needing some info. The exhaust works the intake spool correct?

not sure on the ats or hypermax units, but on the banks sidewinder unit, the turbo mounts to a bracket bolted to the back of the passenger side head.
the exhaust "Y" pipe is replaced with an up-pipe that goes from the manifolds to the turbo inlet. the exhaust spins a wheel, then exits through the down-pipe to the muffler.
on the other side of the turbo is the compressor wheel. the air intake is connected to the low side , and the high pressure side is connected to the engine intake.
the more exhaust into the turbo on the "hot" side, the faster the wheel turns, creating more boost on the "cold" side.
the turbo is cooled with engine oil that is taken from the stock oil pressure port, and returned to the engine at the stock CDR valve grommet in the valley pan. the CDR is relocated to the intake, and the oil pressure sending unit is relocated.
fuel is turned up because you are introducing more air into the engine, so more fuel is required.

yup. the oil pressure sender is removed, and the turbo oil supply line in screwed in there. then the turbo outlet oil line goes to the stock CDR location in the middle of the valley pan.

look down into the valley with the air filter off. you will see the cdr. once you remove it, that is where the banks turbo oil return goes.
