Sometimes you can find the odd ball parts by using https://www.car-part.com
I have used the service a couple of times with good success.

I’ll give them a try. I found one on eBay for 215 shipped. Seems like a middle of the road price. I’m planning to rebuild it anyways while I have apart so may go that way. Just need to strip off everything I’m not going to use and get it listed.

i looked those up. Judging by the eBay listings, I’m not certain that they all have the right compressor outlet. I need to be able to go to the larger SD plenums without adapter boots. I want the least restrictive flow I can get to keep temperatures down. I’ll keep them in my scan, maybe some of them would work.

I see you have mentioned SD plenums a couple of times. Have you looked into the billet inserts for the plenum covers? They are relatively low cost, but provide a good amount of confidence and reliability to the intake system.
Just a thought and keep us updated!

That sounds like a viable option if the other sources don't pan out.

thanks for the recommendation. I’ll add them to my list.

Turbo and pedestal both showed up today. The van plenum and turbo like like they will match right up to the SD engine/intake plenums. Exhaust outlet on the turbo looks like a match for the OBS down pipe. I just need to take the EBPV out and weld the holes up. The Beans flange EBPV delete flange makes it into a SD sized outlet.
thank y’all for the help with this!

I’ll post them up when I have turbo and pedestal and up pipes. That way it’s all fit together.

I have a SD turbo and Intercooler setup if you want to go that route. Just need to maybe get a drivers manifold, up pipe bolts, and intake plenums.

How’d the conversion to the van turbo go? I have one in my super duty. I don’t really have anything to compare it to as I came from a worn out engine and turbo and put a good engine and rebuilt the van turbo and installed them in my truck. I know I don’t have to worry about egts much unless I’m pulling heavy stuff. I make about 23-24psi. I wish I had put the balanced assembly in when I had it all apart before to get the benefits of the better turbine. It does take a second to spool but once it does it does good.
