[QUOTE="Tom S, post: 35192, member: 623"] One of the most difficult jobs of the project was firewall clearance. I think that my truck has the motor situated about as close to the firewall as they come and that added work for this project. I loosened the motor and tranny mounts and slid them forward about a quarter of an inch which helped some. It may have also helped some to pull the cab back. The SD pedestal is taller which creates a clearance issue.

[IMG]http://powerstrokenation.com/photopost/data/503/medium/Turbocharger_conversion_028.jpg[/IMG] Once the insulation is put back up everything looks factory again. I used hardware store good grade flanged head bolts to mount the pedestal and for turbocharger mounting 2 bolts from International 1817993-C1. The turbocharger to collector marmon clamp was from International 1824400C1 or Ford F81Z-8287-EA ?? I used new orings as well Small (2) F4TZ-6N653-A or 1815560C1 and Large (2) F4TZ-6N653-B or 1815561C1 [IMG]http://powerstrokenation.com/photopost/data/503/medium/Turbocharger_conversion_021.jpg[/IMG] I also found it necessary to dimple or slightly flatten an area on both up pipes and the downpipe to get the clearance that I wanted. [IMG]http://powerstrokenation.com/photopost/data/503/medium/Turbocharger_conversion_027.jpg[/IMG] The SD turbo has a different exhaust outlet which required downpipe modification. Also shown in this picture is how I deleted the wastegate with the permission of TN and BWD. The stud on the waste gate was created an additional firewall clearance issue. The easiest solution was to remove part of the arm on the gate and used a nut and bolt through the ebpv housing to hold it shut. I deemed this acceptable with the small injectors that I run. [IMG]http://powerstrokenation.com/photopost/data/503/medium/Turbocharger_conversion_026.jpg[/IMG] The compressor outlet is also different and quite a bit larger. [IMG]http://powerstrokenation.com/photopost/data/503/medium/Turbocharger_conversion_025.jpg[/IMG] The compressor inlet is larger as well and the turbo comes with a new intake hose. This works if you have the updated black hose kit on the truck. I have a custom CCV delete piece that I had to move up slightly for a good fit with the TN intake hose. I also had to trim off the hose about a half inch on the compressor end for a good fit. It is a very very tight fit initally and I used a drum sander on the die grinder to put a chamfer on it.
