Well guys I figured out what all was wrong with my truck bought a brand new turbo with a 88 66 billet wheel and ported housing and installed it and still oil was disappearing and power didn't seem all there so I drained my water separater on a hunch and sure enough I was right bad injector orings with only 17,000 miles on them I installed new Alliant orings and all is well and truck runs better then ever turbo made a big difference to u can really tell cleared some of my smoke up but just so u guys know don't run ORILEYS brand injector orings they where almost disintegrated just thought I'd pass that information along thanks guys for all ur help

 

Here's a pic of the turbo and reinstalling injectors

 

Nice turbo,is the a factory ford rebuild with different wheel?

 

Its a ported housing correct? 4" instead or the stock 3"

 

It's supposed to be brand new has factory inlet size still but has the 88 66 impeller in it looks brand new to for sure seems to be good quality and definitely spools better probably a aftermarket brand but I'm definitely happy with it

 

glad your turbo is doing well. sorry to hear that the O-rings were toast. where did you get the turbo from?

 

Got it from a guy that sells on eBay which I know eBay but I'm very happy with it and quality is very good cr performance is the guys company name he's actually out of Canada I paid 550 for the turbo shipped to my door came in in less than 5 days

 

I was looking at one from that seller but wasnt sure of the quality

I've put about 75 miles on mine and I'm definitely happy with mine and quality seems to be great just wish I had got the one in your link with 4in intake but I'm very happy with it I'd recommend one to anyone needing turbo on a budget and the bigger wheel definitely cleaned up some of my smoke

 

Do have some questions on a intercooler install I've got a e99 spyder and a 6.0 intercooler but I don't have intercooler tubes in there any where I can get a pre made set for my set up reasonably I'm on a budget but I definitely need a intercooler for towing as I'm getting ready to be pulling about 24 25,000 pounds gross weight on a regular basis

 

The cheapest and easiest way is using Super Duty pipes. You need to add 3" on passenger side on the intercooler side, and about 8" to the driver side towards the spider side of the IC pipe.

 

Okay guess I'll half to find some aluminum pipe and see if my local welding shop will weld them up I've got a set just didn't even see how they could work but I'll do some measuring later today

 

Just buy a cheap ebay intercooler kit and use the bends and silicon fittings from it. I always have a kit because that piping and bends are handy to have around
