Mine was a real dog. In the end it turned out the turbo was not doing its job. Still was a dog when the new turbo went in. Better but not what I thought. I wasn't aware of any mods to the motor available. Of course that was back in 97'.

We have a 94 idi turbo and it is a good running truck. Not going to set speed records but it will lug its heart out. All we did was turn the pump up a tiny bit and straight pipe it. Certanly not 300... Probably not even close to 200 lol

I think I've heard of 250-275 before but it took some modifying.

Read your heart out....
I will admit Justain (NMBT) Has done a good job of fabbing and making things work..
He now has a cam, Injection pump and performance injectors for the Ford IDI engines...
I would PM him and read this thread.... IF you can stand it... LOL http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108058&highlight=

In 1994 I bought a 1990 F250 with 7.3 IDI and Banks turbo. By the time I got the former owners errors corrected I had rebuilt the engine. While I was at it I did a bowl clean up on the heads straight piped it and tweeked the pump a little. Ran pretty good, made a lot of trips to the mounains with the horse trailer. In 2002 we had decided we needed a crew cab so I bought a 96 CCSB PSD. The wife (former truck driver) drives them more than me since I have a company PU. She gets in the new PSD takes off and says "so whats the big deal with the powerstroke? My old truck ran better! "
Of course now there is no comparison, but initially the turbo IDI ran better than the OBS PSD.
The IDI is more limited by design as to max power. But it can run pretty good and there has been a lot more development since 2002! The place to go is oilburners.net There are folks there that are very serious and have developed pumps, injectors, done intercoolers and more. If you accept the limitations and remember there is no computer to save you, you control it, 250 reliable HP is doable.
