I have a pic in my webshots of a SD EBPV housing, and I count 7 bolts. The exhaust housings are different for OBS vs. SD. It looks to me like Ford uses the same turbo(non-wastegated) for the vans as International does for their trucks. I worked on a 2000 PSD van and it looked exactly like the turbos I have seen on International trucks I have worked on. Do you guys think the International non-EBPV housing would work on our turbos, thereby letting us run a bigger downpipe on that flange?
Hey Rich, did you notice how the intake wye is setup? I have been kicking around the idea of using the International wye and compressor outlet pipe on my truck when I put in an intercooler. To me it seems that the factory wye on our trucks chokes the driver's side of the motor for air, where as the SD trucks the wye looks like it would restrict air to the passenger side. IMHO, I think the International wye would work better, even distribution of air to each side of the motor, plus it would be different than what everyone else does.
Just an idea I have been kicking around,
Dave
