What is the turbine exhaust inlet flange style and dimensions for the 94-97 OBS's. People are complaining of few choices for turbochargers?:ford:

We are, but when I was asking the question I was too lazy to go pick one up and measure it. I thought I could catch someone with a quick reply.

Bean, the stock flange is really a T4? It wouldn't be too hard to make an adapter plate to go to another dimension flange, but making the mount wouldn't be so fun.

If it is T4 then there is a thousand turbo's out there that will work anything from a gt40, gt42, S300 , S400 all have T4 options.

Yes there are a ton of turbos that are t4 but not a single one of them will fit on a OBS truck w/o a new collector and pedsital setup. the reverse rotation just screws it the hell up.

Dis not good. Maybe bolt the turbo on the opposite direstion and take air from the left side of the engine bay?

Hits the heater box, I have looked at it every way possible. Closest thing possible is a on center housing but those are just too small and it didnt work out either.

Take out the heater box. It took mine out on my 6.0L and modified it to work so I can change injectors and glow plugs without taking off the cab.:D

I know of a few 6.0's that haven't seen the heater box off to do injectors or glow plugs :poke:
