OK, I need turbo advice

[muh'stang]

Not for a mustang. I had to sell mine...but now I own a 96 powerstroke. 7.3L turbo. Now I consider some of you turbo guru's, so I figure if you can get the 2.3L to make more hp than my truck has stock (215hp) Im betting you can help me get my truck responding better. Im happy with the power, but its a diesel its supposed to make good low end power, but it doesnt really go untill it gets up to 2300rpm and then it dies off at 3000rpm....I think what I need it to do is get up to full boost sooner? I dont know. My plans are to get a larger downpipe, since Im in northern Canada I can remove the cat, keep a nice flow going with a whole new exhuast system. The easier the exhuast gets out the easier the turbo spools, right?.....but what else can I do?

I'd ask over at www.ford-trucks.com

Im on ford trucks. I like these people better when it comes to turbos....you seem more knowledgeable about turbos. A turbo engine is a turbo engine...and my truck does have a t3, as do many of the people in here.

Your truck doesn't have a T3...it has a Gt35?? or something similar.

Look into getting a programmer for it. Companies like bullydog, banks, superchips, etc. all make them. You can double your power (literally) with one of those.

thanks ill have to go look. I think I saw t3 somewhere under my hood, which ones better?

 

[Stinger]

Yours is about twice the size of a T3...
