Something about not building enuff boost... BUT I'm not an expert on this subject...
I would get ahold of a turbo shop/builder and ask them...
I have seen turbos (T4) for sale on craigs list for $250...

Last guy here that did that blew his motor up within three weeks.
Have not seen him since.
Early Stroke turbo's do not have waste gates.
If you crank the fuel, the boost will blow the head gaskets at best if you are lucky.
Plus the turbo without the mounting pedestal and exhaust up pipes is about worthless.
You will have more in fabbing up the pipes, and an oil return/turbo mount with a Power Stroke turbo than a used IDI system would cost.
The turbo is a very small part of the turbo system.
Without the rest of the system, a turbo is an expensive paper weight.
While we are on this, the Holset turbo on a Dodge is exactly the same thing.
To much boost and no way to mount it without custom fabrication.
Run more than 10 PSI boost on a stock 6.9 and the head gaskets won't live very long.

There is a member not far from me that is running a powerstroke turbo on his truck. From what he said, it wasn't that big a performer and would have a hard time getting past 10 PSI. I think his handle was royzell.
While it might be possible to blow the engine with a powerstroke turbo, I can't help but wonder if its actually too big for our engines to spool them properly. But royzell's results were not exactly earth shattering.

But as per line four of my post, how far did he crank the fuel?
With a good exhaust setup to get the exhaust into the turbo without leaks, a Stroke turbo should be able to get more than 10 PSI.
But the intake setup on a Stroke is completely different that the IDI, so that may be costing some of the boost.

I don't remember the details of his system, but hoping he will chime in. Haven't seen him online in a while though.
I do remember that it was a challenge to get it working right.

I'm not too impressed with my PS anyway.
As Dave S. stated it is non-waste-gated and it is slow to boost.
It wiil not produce anymore than 15-16 PSI MAX. anyway on the stock truck.
I don't HATE it but mt IDI turbo seems to "perform" way better.
Maybe you'll get lucky and it'll be an IDI turbo and you'll be SET!

yea i hope so i really want a turbo for the thing i hope it is an idi turbo but if its a powerstroke then i might try to adapt the turbo from it, i dont know yet around here were i live its hard enough to find some one who wants to sell there idi, more less a turbo idi, and its almost impossible to find one in a junk yard.

I really don't think it will be worth your trouble to try and adapt a powerstroke turbo. Be patient and find a used IDI turbo kit. It will save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
If you were trying to build something with huge amounts of power that can actually spool the turbo and you had the time to out into a long drawn out project, then I would consider it. But in reality a turbo kit intended for the IDI will wake up your engine plenty even if you only go to 5-7 PSI.
Used kits typically run for $500, but some deals are better than others.

If it is a Power Stroke, none of the other parts will work on an IDI engine.
The intake is completely different, the exhaust from the engine to the turbo is completely different, the turbo pedistal won't work either.
So the only thing you could use on an IDI is the turbo, and you would have to make all the other stuff.
By the time you make everything you will need, a new IDI turbo system would be cheaper.
