I would talk to your Friend and to the Oil Cooler drain Tube while you are there also Cheap insurance to insure proper turbo oil flow. The Down pipe hardware is the hardest part to this job.

Smut, you are correct the kit does come with exhaust bolts, but it only comes with four an now with me pulling the drivers side uppipe-manifold bolts I have pulled 6 all together.

Powerstroked, not really familiar with this mod, do I just add a drain tube to it or what lol? Thanks

Any tips for puttin turbo back on?

cw96stroker · May 21, 2011

Got a q? What are the pros an cons of leaving egr valve in vs putting plate on? I fo not have a tuner fOr this pickup yet so if I decide to take it out it will be at least a week

If its a 03 04 install the plate. No code will show. 05 and up leave the thing installed and remove layer

doesn't matter what you do. If you installed the new up-pipe with the kit you won't have exhaust gas flow over the valve anyway so it is still gonna trip the CEL. BTW truck will run fine with the light on, and you said you are picking up a tuner in a week anyway.

Alright thanks guys!

The Oil Drain tube is an upgrade that ford has done over the stock turbo oil drain tube increasing its diameter and removing some of the odd kinks in the bends to allow for better oil return flow after shut down to prevent turbo baking. It is cheap insurance that is easy to do while you have the turbo out.

Ah ok, well when I went to the ford house today to pickup O rings and coolant the O rings for the oil drain tube came in a kit with a new drain pipe, didn't really think anything of it until I got to the shop and held them side by side, it was a little bigger like you say and the angles were a little different, so I did a mod and didn't even know I did it LOL

corey you might have fun getting the up pipe flange lined up to the turbo, mine was a PITA

SIX_OHH · May 22, 2011

agree until I figured out a good trick

yeehaw · May 22, 2011

i just loosened the bolts, used my mini pry bar and pushed back. Tightened the clamp and BOOM no more exhaust leak

SIX_OHH · May 22, 2011

Did it.really go.BOOM? you may of did someyhing wrong LOL

cw96stroker · May 22, 2011

Lol ya Kyle it was fun but not to terribly bad prolly because I had the uppipes unbolted from th manifolds, but I did fight with the V clamp for a good bitLOL, but I'd like to talk to whoever thought it was a good idea to put all those stupid heat shields back there, like one between the uppipe an down pipe, I do not understand. Just there to get in the way I guess.

yeehaw · May 22, 2011

yea that back bolt on the left side of the manifold against that effin heat shield made me loose my 10mm blue point wrench

cw96stroker · May 22, 2011

Yea that one made me say lots of cuss words! And to make it even better I got it boted together and tightened up, and I look down beside me an laying there was the gasket that was supposed to go inbetween!!.. So I had to do it again lol
