Finally got the pictures that I took last weekend.
here ya'll go.

Overall shot of factory setup and turbo. I still would like to know what kind model of Garrett turbo this is.



Picture showing compressor and turbine housing stamped with "Garrett" and the A/R of the turbine at 1.15



Picture of other side of housings.. shows A/R of 1.00 on Compressor housing.



And final shot of turbo with my hand resting on the compressor housing. dang that thing is big.



questions.. opinions?

My opinion is that is it is A HUGE FUGGIN TURBO!

no crap. snail 'tis huge!

heh, i bet that thing sounds sweet

yes he's putting it on a 2gnt it should spool at 9500 rpm and reach full boost by 13250 rpm :+

hehe... it's the stock setup in my new work rig. a 03' Ford E-450 with a 7.3L powerstroke turbo diesel.

and yes.. it sounds really sweet :D

BTW... all of those pictures were taken from sitting between the two front seats ;) so the turbo chills almost in the cab with me.. but with the doghouse (cover) on of course.

a few weeks ago I was watching the tv show Trucks!
they installed a second stage computer from Banks on a ford like yours

this one here, the six-gun , they only put the eclectonic and not the hardware upgrade
http://www.bankspower.com/newproducts-3-04.cfm

the power gain was spectacular
installation take less than 2 hour, the unit goes between the computer and the harness and you have a 6 positions dial switch inside the truck to go from 1 power preset to another
some are programmed for more low band pulling power and some are programmed for more high band power

Diesel are cool :)

That turbo is big as hell. The one I have sitting at home, which Dino remarked on when he saw it is also big as hell. Something like a 1.22/.86. And I had thought it was a small turbo because I was used to big fucking Novi 2000 superchargers on 'Stangs.

indeed.. diesels are cool.. what else can you run 24psi on 19.5:1 compression pistons.. haha..

in anycase.. the PSD in the E-series vans is a bit tuned down from the superduty pickups I think.. being they don't come with intercoolers like the trucks do. so i'm not sure I can reall up the boost much or not. I'll have to talk to banks. In anycase, as fun as it would be to plop a $300 chip in and get 110HP and 200FT/LBS of TQ.. I won't. it's already got all the pulling power I need for my work (had 6000lbs. in the back yesterday and she accelerated almost as good as empty :thumbsup) all I care about is fuel mileage though.. so I'm gonna see what I can do to it to up the fuel mileage a few points.

didnt i already say what it was? i forgot now, damnit
