Will this turbo fit my '97 F-350????

I think I might need to do some minor fabrication, but do you think the performance gains will be worth the trouble?



Just curious what everyone thinks.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

It appears that the outlet is facing the wrong way. But I think you can remove all the bolts on the housing and turn it. Then there shouldn't be any mods necessary. You're all set, just bolt her up. Great find!

This turbo must be the reason for a new mod surfacing... "Hump Hood Mod."

That filter screen they've used is a little high in micron... plus looks like a goose flew through the bottom left corner.

Tymar Shmymar......

I ditched the Tymar intake on my truck long ago for the high flow chicken wire air cleaner mod.

I speak from experience when I tell you it flows at least double what the Tymar did. That's why I'm considering this turbo, it already comes with the Chicken Wire mod. That'll save me like $10.00!

And besides, that turbo will chew up anything smaller than a golf ball, right?

Anothing to consider

You might need front air bags to level things off once the install is done.

No need for humped hood.....

I'll just do it like this Corvette did:





Plus I just found out about a new compressor wheel mod they have for it:




I actually don't know what that monster is off of.
