Turbos

I know some one will move this but Im looking for a turbo set up for my 1993 7.3IDI. Ive been searching forever and thought some one on hear may have on they want to let go of thanks in advance. Putting this in the want adds doesn't do any good because most guys don't go through them.

It takes alot of work to make a psd turbo work, but it can be done. Your much better off finding the right one though.

I have to date never seen any one on fte make one work. On the ob site supposedly ther is some that have done it, but I have heard that some mount them down under by the tcase or something like that which would be goofy on a truck you are going to use as a dd or a work truck , in my opinion.

looks like you still have time on the ATS.

im still an uneducated turbo idiot.the only thing i know,is if i need more power and decide on turbo,would be to look for a wastegated one for low end hauling grunt.

I scored a complete ATS turbo kit from a salvage yard back in the mid west for $750 and 10 bucks to ship all the parts to my house in Billings MT. Look at carparts dot com, its a website I use to search salvage yards across the country. There are several listings when I was looking last week. Some are factory Ford setups for the 1993 and early 94's while others were aftermarket kits. Its one more place to look for parts besides ebay. I should have my kit this week.
