I have the pump off of the 92 7.3 for rebuild and he has an (as far as I can tell) almost complete take -off ATS turbo kit with newly rebuilt turbo. Story is he rebuilt the turbo and the guy junked the truck. Air cleaner box says 6.9 turbo on it. As far as I can tell it is complete except for the "y" pipe and needs the turbo oil feed line as the remover choose to cut it and all the gauge lines. Price is $800 should I buy? And can you'ens help me with installaion since its all thrown in a box and no instructions? Thanks.

 

if that was about 10 states closer to me i'd be all over it.

 

Fo 8 bills?!? HECK YEAH! If you decide not to buy it, let people around here know how to get in touch with the seller - that's a great deal if it is in any kind of useable condition....

 

Go over it with a fine tooth comb, if the turbo is in good condition, than go for it, but I would try to make an offer to bring the price down a little. $800 is an average price, but complete used have sold for that much or sometimes less.

I picked up a used 088 ats kit and also had to improvise a few things to make everything work right, took me a few days.

Now when you say the "Y" pipe is missing do you mean the crossover pipe or the cast iron collector that connects to the turbo?

Do you know if this is a new style wastegated turbo or the older non wastegated?

 

It is a non waste gated turbo. There is a "feed" pipe for the turbo that looked to be factory and made of heavy tubing. It was made to fit the turbo housing. The housing is not like the current kits that have two pipes coming up to the turbo. The exhaust comes together under the motor then comes up in one pipe. A copy of the parts list shows a "y" pipe type deal that was part of the kit but is not with it now.

 

Is this it?

If that link doesn't work, try this one.

Thats better.

 

I live in San Diego and I've got a complete ATS non waste gated Turbo system that came off a f250 standard cab if anyone's interested.

contact me at sbrimlow@hotmail.com if you're interested.

 

Just be sure not to get "bait and switched"!

 

Here is a link to the system. part number 6.9-085

Its not a bad system, I have heard some guys pushing 15 psi out of them.

My feeling is that it is a little overpriced, If it were me, I would at least expect it to be complete for that amount.

Does it come with gauges?

 

I would agree that it is overpriced since it is not complete.

You may be able to fabricate the Y, but if you have an exhaust shop do it it will be expensive.

There are a lot of small parts that you would be able to miss easily while looking through the pile of parts.

If you were to buy it, I would print out the parts list and check it against what is there.

A couple more missing parts and you may have an expensive pile of parts.

I have heard ATS is not the easiest company to get replacement parts from these days.
I hate that because they did have an excellent turbo system, I have one.

 

I know this is an old post... Just thought I'd add incase someone comes across this for information. The 085 does not come with a Y pipe. It comes with a single exhaust feed. The stock pipe setup comes from the manifold joining both sides into one. You're supposed to cut the pipe just after the joint and connect the Kit pipe which loops upward to the Turbo ... the Y that is referred to is already existing.

 

That's interesting.
I'd like to see a pic of that set-up.
