can i turbo it
I have heard many rumors about the turboed 7.3's all the way from they are the best to maybe the worst engines ever made. If I was to put an aftermarket turbo on my NA 7.3 would I have to replace anything else and would I be better to go with a wastegated or non system. I want the best deal for the money and I do not want to ruin this engine. It is a one in a million. 91 with 76,000 original miles. My main question is would I have to beef up the engine or not.

with 76,000 you should have nothing to worry about. i think right now there are only two turbo kits to choose from ats or hypermax, banks has disconntinued thiers. They are both very good but have a few differences ats is a wastegated turbo and the hypermax is not , so your going to make more bost at lower rpms with the ats. ats is going to cost more then the hypermax will. you can hold out an try to find a used one but they dont come up they offten and when they do they are missing pieces.
