Found this reply to a thread in another forum site and was wondering if anyone had thoughts on it. The thread was from 2003 so the engine year models may have a larger span now. Just think I may could do this setup and have all my tubing and parts chromed for looks.
[A few more dollars? You could make 450 HP with a $500 budget if you do good planning. Turbo from a '98-02 powerstroke diesel, make your own headers from a set of hedman 88400 shorties, your own plumbing, etc. The headers will most likely be the most expensive part. VERY, VERY easy power, great steetability, very low noise (the turbo eats up a LOT of exhaust noise), and best of all the power is tuneable, either with a adjustable wastegate which can be adjusted from the driver's seat, or by creative use of your right foot. I prefer the latter/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif
