Turbo Question
#1
#2
Do some searching and reading on here. As long as it is pre-powerstroke, and you get ALL the parts, it's the most economical way to turbo an IDI. (Exhaust piping, valve cover, CDR relocating bracket, turbo pedestal, turbo, oil lines, air intake hat and filter housing....what else did I miss guys?)

there is one on there now, Ford ATS factory turbo kit 7.3 6.9 idi diesel: eBay Motors (item 220659127181 end time Aug-30-10 15:45:38 PDT)
you got 7 hours. its got everything.
greywynd, you got it all minus the second valve cover. you need drivers side for the cdr valve hole and you need the passenger side for the glow plug controller bracket. but you need to specify the exhaust. its a cross over pipe that goes from the drivers side to the up pipe, you need the 2 piece up pipe that bolts straight to the passenger side manifold and you need the downpipe. you dont need new exhaust manifolds, they are the exact same as the ones you have now.

Hey ND, gonna send you a PM! I thought of the second valve cover, but that one isn't the end of the world, just recently someone posted a pic of a bracket mounted GP controller because they didn't have the right valve cover. As far as the driver's side cover, is it possible to modify a stock one? I know it needs a hole for the CDR grommet, is there a baffle or anything inside it to prevent oil splash going up into the CDR, or is it just open?
I suspect that there could be a lot of turbo's out there without the right valve covers, but it would be a shame to not be able to use one because of it.

There is a splash guard under the CDR opening in the rocker cover on the ATS 093 version.
The stock Ford turbo is a carbon copy of the ATS 093 except for the turbo outlet flange and downpipe.
PS the 94 Strokes had 215 HP
95 and 96 had 225 HP
97 had 235 HP
A well tuned IDI turbo can run with or in front of any of those years unless they have mods done.

Oreo somethins wrong with your truck myturbo sppols quick and I see boost running around town though not impressive amounts if I'm just putting around but its more air than I would have NA

So it would be possible with some hole creating, and baffle fabricating to modify a set of stock covers to work. Cool, glad I have an extra pair or two around here!

i just got it rebuilt and havent gotten a chance to drive it yet. i know before i had it done i wouldnt get any boost until there was a load behind it.

I agree with everyone else, I can tell a big difference between my 6.9L and my Factory Turbo '94 at all times/anytime.
My stock '94 IDI Turbo is noticeably quicker than my '95 slightly moded and '97 stock PowerStrokes. I think it's mostly because the PS doesn't have a waste gate turbo.
My '95 might be a little better at pulling wieght up hill than the '94 but it's hard to tell without having them side-by-side, equally loaded.
