Looking forward to seeing the final results. This is perfect for me. I have a 2001 super cab F350 with a 5 speed man behind a v10. I have a 8700 lb fiver that I pull with it. This project will give me an idea on what I need to do to my truck to make it into a great puller.

Warning Hard on Eyes LOL

Hi All
Just wanted to update this thread. A couple of months ago we started fabbing up a low boost single turbo for our tow / haul project. We have a ways to go before completion. Nothing real pretty but should be very functional. There are some things we will be changing most likely. Cost and Ease of installation is the blue print behind the build up. I did not set out to have turbo location undertruck but seems to be best for install and costs but may prove better to fit other vehicle applications in the end. aka 2wd,4wd,5.4L motor and maybe Eseries vehicles. Have to start some where right?

I am hopeful that once final fabbing,tuning and towing testing are complete; we can maybe offer them as a kit of some sort to the public. Not sure when that would be. This build up is strictly about hauling and towing performance.

Mike,are you using the PSD intercooler?
That's what I plan on doing whenever I get around to my turbo project.
