It took me a couple weeks worth of phone calls and emails to finally get the info from them that is is a 1.0 A/R exhaust housing. They wouldn't answer my emails, and I was finally able to get a call back from someone who knew what they I was talking about when I asked what the A/R of the housing was.

Heres a write-up about the Banks Quick-Turbo kit that someone did and tried different things.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/article/...rbo_Stall.html
I am tired of this surging all the time and think I will just go with the wheel for now...I would love to get the compressor housing ($400+) but I can only handle $60 right now. Should I get a bigger wastegate also?
Wasnt there a write-up on here with install of wheel with the turbo ON the truck?? Or should I just take it off...really dont want to but it might be easier than trying to crawl around on top of the motor and get the wheel in there.

You'll need some 1/4" drive 12 point sockets. 3/8" drive is too fat to fit between the bottom of the turbo housing and the valve cover.
Here's Johnny8's gallery of pictures that he took when installing the WW while the turbo is still in the truck.

i also tried to remove the compressor wheel while the turbo was on the truck, for my initial venture into the turbo. i had a screwdriver stuck in the exhaust side, and for the life of me i could not get the wheel off. i ended up removing it and i found it quite fun actually (my wierd mechanic personality 
) and i have done it three more times since then.

compressor wheel
lost very little boost, (1-2), helped with surge, and is louder under acceleration

I will venture to say that alot of us whom are considering the Van Turbo swap already have upgraded 4" downpipes/full exhausts. I'm curious because the Van Turbo swap seems to be on the near horizon for me....

Im not really worried about loosing 1 or 2 lbs of boost 
Its just annoying trying to pull up the mountain and it just over boosts. So then got to take your foot out of it so i dont damage the turbo and make that annoying sound stop.
Thanks Dan...so just do the wheel and thats all then?
You have done A LOT to your truck lately Kris!! :O So you are saying I might want to go ahead and get some new turbo pedistal O rings then? LOL

I recently contacted Bean's Diesel Performance and he has a sweet deal on the 1.0 housing, wicked wheel and adapter in a package.
I questioned the 1.o on this site not long ago and i'm still on the fence

the van's exhaust side is 1.15 and at least mine's intake side is 1.10.
JT, didn't you mention something about having to replace the pedestal with the van swap since the adapter does away with the ebpv?

most people modify their pedestals, by removing the rod and piston assy, cutting the rod off inside the pedestal, and tapping the hole and putting a plug facing inside and then assemble the cut actuator arm back in, and LEAVE THE EBPV actuator sensor (goes into the pedestal) UNPLUGGED! do not leave it just hangin there, because the shear weight of the arm not supported will cause a leak.
or do what i did, and get a $258 pedestal that does not have the EBV cast into it. nice, clean install. probably not worth the money though, oh well it's not the biggest waste of money ive spent. i have the 1.15, and after having stock at .84, i would not want to go to a 1.0 shall i do this to another truck, because i dont see much of a turbo lag difference with the 1.15, and the decreased backpressure makes your engine alot more efficient.
