I was told buy a guy at a resent truck pull in merced(central california) said that they do build a shorty style header for turbo charged idi motors and I thought he was nuts.so I asked if he had a set.he said no.so I went about me own.
I have heard rumers or there being such thing.so I heard rong.
I do like the chaleng of building some thing of that caliber and makeing it work but I don't have kinda time at the moment.
so I was givein missinformation so lets all forget about the header thing

Needles to say I always run my front tank first so I don't have a spill.

They exist...just not for our trucks yet. No offense, but if Stans headers is telling you impossbile, they might want to go and do some homework...

nothing is impossible
while it may not be practicle or easy, if you can make this
<img src="http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/images/tech_center/tech_102/Welded_tubular_turbocharger_manifold.gif"></img>
you can make a turbo header for the 6.9/7.3.

Nothing is impossible to make, but trying to sell enough of them to make any money will be the stumbling block for any business to try it.
But... if you have a bunch of mandrel bent tubing and a TIG welder, knock yourself out. Don't forget to post some pics when you're done.

Hmmm...The more I look at that gallery pic the more identical I think it is to our IDIs...Do you think that they would fit with a little modification? I'm thinking of emailing that company and seeing if the could modify that set to fit an IDI... sure would be interesting wouldn't it?

Yeah, I was kinda' wondering that myself. I'm sure the manifolds are different between a 7.3 PS and a 7.3/6.9 IDI, but are the bolt patterns/exhaust ports different? Would the 7.3 PS manifolds bolt on?

here is the powerstroke left hander via ebay
here is the idi header
and here is the powerstroke header
where they exit seem to be different, but ports are equally spaced, and i see no reason for them to be closer or farther apart. what do we have to lose? other than a wad of cash?
i myself always pictured those hot rod headers like sb chebbies used turned upside down for twin turbos...

Looks like they mount up a little different but I'm sure they can be adapted...

the first set of pic is what I had in mind.the driver side header will me easyer couse the x-over pipe is under the motor.atleast on my ats set up.I wont to keep it simple and compact as possible.something when you look at it and you'll say an idiot can build that.thats what I'm looking for.I talk to one of ower engineers at work and he is willing to enlist his help couse he has one of these old 7.3 beutys as well.haveing an engineer help may be my worst mistake.no offence if any of you are engineers.
