The ATS system uses a Garrett turbo. Ford used the ATS designed system, just reworked the elbow and downpipe.

ATS turbo outlet left, slip connction.
Ford turbo outlet right, V band clamp connection.

ATS downpipe left, 3" mandrel bent round pipe.
Ford downpipe right, looks like it was run over by three fork lifts before it was installed, 2.25" ID where it is actually round pipe.

Why'd Ford opt for the smaller turbo outlet diameter and mangled downpipe? Emissions?

I think they were trying to detune it so it didn't out perform the upoming Powerstroke.

So if it was for clearance would I have to make the ATS fit? And where could I find the outlet/downpipe or the turbo housing to purchase? Do I just need the ATS outlet or the whole housing including outlet?

I think I read something about that on the '94 - '97 PSD's. They had to take a pipe and pry the fire wall up a little bit in order to fit the non-mangled downpipe in there.

If you have a body lift you can get away without modifying the firewall. I believe Dave has a 2 in body lift on his and he didnt have to modify it any.

To fit the full down pipe you simply need to bend the pinch weld of the firewall to gain the clearence. I did mine with the tranny out so it was a breeze using a 4x4 and a floor jack. And finishing up with a little massage from the body hammer. Could easily fit 4" down pipe now.
