What are the differences between the Powerstroke motor and the earlier 7.3 turbo that make the Powerstroke motor stronger/better than it's predecessor?

The early 1983-1994 6.9-7.3 was in-direct injection. The 1994-2003 7.3 is direction injection. 1999-2003 is intercooled also.

Which years did the IDI 7.3 have a turbo? Also did Ford ever have a Diesel in its light trucks before the 6.9 in 1983?

The 1993-94 IDI came with or without turbo. Before 1983 there was no diesel powered light trucks form Ford.

In 1994, Ford put out the PowerStroke Diesel that was the IDI 7.3 diesel which was really just it completely redone by Cat.
