Power boosts?

I know its been asked hundreds of times, but I have no time to look for the posts. What is the Best way to gain HP and Torque on the 1993 7.3 IDI Turbo Diesel? I'm looking at doing an exhaust, maybe an intercooler, but what else is there?

GregA was spot on when suggesting a better turbo, I have the Banks on mine and it works well, I would go for a 3.5/4" straight exhaust (sounds really good) and then you should be right on track. Other than that there is not a whole lot to be gained. But they do make pretty good and useable power. I think the straight exhaust with no muffler really helped out with the EGT's also. Scotty
