460 turbo options?
I like the idea of a turbo charged 460 in my 1996 f250 and i was wandering what the options are for turbochargers, like would a diesel turbo work? or maybe a dual turbo setup using two small car turbos? and what all is needed to use a turbo on a 460 engine
Also is there anyway to not convert to MAF and have a turbo?

You would have to jerry-rig the crap out of that motor to get make it a good turbo setup because nobody makes a "bolt-on" kit. I can't even find anybody that sells 460 exhaust manifolds for turbocharging a 460. I would say it's a 100% DIY fab. job. It would be a cool setup though!

the cheapest way to do this is to run the turbo remote mounted. there is a company who is making kits for trucks,cameros,mustangs,pretty much anything. i think its called scs. any how i have a turbo from a 7.9l deisel that came from some huge ford bucket truck. im using l&l frame exit headers. i ran the whole system outside of the frame and came up behind the cab right where the frame kicks up. all i had to do was run 1 charge pipe through an intercooler mounted in the bed up to the throttle body. run a blow of valve right before the mass air meter with a manual boost controller at about 12psi. and tadah cheap not really ni***red up at all. my 460 came with a remote mount oil cooler set up. i ran the hp line to one side of the turbo the another cooler after the turbo and back to the oil adapter. i have 90mm throttle body from a mustang with matching mass air meter. along with 40lb injectors at 80psi fuel pressure

Wow I'm gonna look up SCS - never heard of 'em! Just out of curiosity, how did the computer handle the 12psi boost? Did you have to get a plug-in? I'm not quite up on electronic engine management.

im going to have epic motorsports recalibrate my computer for my injectors and mass air meter. then ill have a diablo sports tuner with me in the truck. the truck was originally a 95 mass air 5.0 truck, so most of the tuning will happen automatically. gotta love the maf efi. heres the ststurbo website. http://www.ststurbo.com/
