Hi guys, work is progressing on the T/A, the brakes are being finalized so the car can be moved around to get the engine out. Our next step is going to be partial engine tear down for inspection then on to the test stand for a break-in run.
I have a question about waste gates and blow off valves. Being as turbo stupid as I am, can you explain what the each do and why you need them? I only work on diesels and we never have any turbo problems other then the Ford 6.0L, and those were just bad from the get go.
We would like to limit the boost on the T/A to about 6 or 7 till it gets some miles on it and we feel comfortable with how its running since the car hasn't been road worthy since the early '90s. We are sticking with the original Turboforce parts for now as this is what the budget allows. This is also a four speed car, with a 3.42 rear axle, and with that combination, there won't be much room for error between shifts.
