Adding a turbo

Hey guys. In the next couple of weeks Im going to buy the hypermax turbo for the 7.3. Was wondering how crucial it is to buy the intercooler and heavy duty engine components with the turbo or could I space out my spending?

An intercooler would be nice, but not necessary, neither would be the engine components. Most people just bolt on the turbo and go.

What kind of truck are you talking about, creating a signature would help everyone out. How much/how often do you plan on towing heavy?

Its a 94 250 ex.cab 4wd idi. During landscaping season it is daily towing a trailer but nothing extremely heavy. I bought it a year ago and now I have the money to slowly put a bunch of performance stuff into it that I've been dying to add. Im actually waiting on the shipment of my 6" mitre cut stacks...create a signature?

Just the turbo install for now will make you so happy you will wish you did it long ago.. The hypermax kit is a nice intercooler. You can run more boost and cooler air makes more power. You may know this ,just trying to help..

oh and if you want to do heads studs call arp and order them direct , you can save 35.00 dollars instead of getting them from me.

In the blue bar where it says your user name and log in time, click the "user CP" on the far left. There is a tool bar on the left side with a bunch of options, one of them being "edit signature" or something along those lines. A signature goes on the bottom of every post. This helps people by knowing what year, model, mods, etc about your vehicle.

MostlyDiesel,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.

The signature option is not there until you exceed 25 or so posts,
