You didn't get what I meant. A turbo that pushes 17psi on a stroke at 17:1, will be quite a bit higher on an IDI with 21:1, like in the mid 20s or so. Bye bye head gaskets in short order.

One other problem with the PSD turbos is that they are all reverse rotation (compared to a standard turbo), which means that unless you install them in a similar location to a powerstroke, they're really difficult to fit in there.

No, it isn't going to make more boost, compression ratio doesn't effect that, 17 psi is still 17 psi, but, cylinder pressures will be higher due to the compression.
Boost is simply a measurement of airflow in excess of what the engine would move on it's own. On engines of the same displacement, 17 psi is going to be the same airflow.

IDI with powerstroke turbo.

i have a 93 IDI with a powerstroke turbo and like everyone said, its a ton of work and honestly is pretty cool and a power change but not worth it unless you can fab and install everything yourself.
