Ford e350 bigger turbo?

I have the ford e350 with the 7.3 in it I was thinking of getting a bigger turbo but the van turbo doesn’t have a waste gate. I was wondering if I could get the gtp38r and weld the waste gate closed

Don’t the stock van turbos move more air than a standard truck turbo? I thought it used to be common for truck guys to upgrade to the van turbo.

I have a e350 van and added the Kc balanced assembly. I don’t run a tune but I do use a truck pcm for a mild hp gain. My work van will touch 21psi. I planned to add a hydra but I’m fairly happy with this set up right now.

they do but as of rn I have the balanced assembly and a hydra chip wanted to run 180/30cc injectors so figured the gtp38r would go good with that

I think everyone disables the waste gate. Single shots are tempting in a van. I've never had them but I've read lower egt s and more fuel. Have you read through the turbo matrix on this forum? There are forum members who were unhappy with their ss injectors too.

kc turbos has quite a presence on this forum. There's a new line of theirs now guys a demoing now. I am curiously watching from a distance.
