Spyder Pipe Question

Will a 99.5 to 2003 7.3 spyder pipe work on an early 99 7.3, if you change out the plums as well?

You also have to swap out the turbo, which means you'll need to change the pedistal and up-pipes, as well as a few other mods. The reason is not only the height difference between the two turbos, but also the 99.5+ turbo has a larger compressor outlet. So the size difference on the outlets prevent them from being bolted up.

I see. Is there an easier soultion to over-come the restriction on the small intake side? I see that Banks offers a twin air ram, but you have to buy the whole intercooling system to get it to fit. Has anyone used just the Banks intercooler pipes and twin ram air with the stock 7.3 intercooler?

With your modifications done, the larger plenums wont make a difference for you. It would be better to upgrade the turbocharger and do the plenums while youre there.

I am getting ready to install an ATS 1.00 AR compressor housing with an upgraded actuator, and was thinking that I could upgrade the intake restriction (if I can) while I am in there.

Go ahead and return that, because unless you have the late 99 or newer turbocharger, that ATS housing wont fit.

Sorry. It is the turbine housing, not the compressor housing.
