Message: [QUOTE="JCart, post: 1542895, member: 1238"] Sounds like the up pipes are leaking. Get a bright flash lite and get under it, look at where the exhaust manifolds meet the block. Look for soot, black carbon especially at rear of block, not uncommon for the e manifold bolt heads to pop off near the rear of the block usually drivers side. Inspect where up pipes meet e manifold underside too. Then look at collector on top at rear of block in behind the turbo, where up pipes meet, very common for these to leak. 1.0 exhaust housing is a great mod, with stock injectors you will not loose anything noticeable on the top end. If you get a 1.0 housing, I’d rebuild the turbo with KC Turbos custom exhaust wheel, 360 bearing kit and a billet intake wheel. I gut the EBPV and assembly off all my trucks. Also You can buy New none EBPV turbo pedestal or you can remove the EBPV assembly off it yourself. Things that will be going on it (in the next while) cam position sensor (get a Ford spare and put in the glove), vacuum pump, mechanical fuel pump, fan belt idler bearings, water pump. If you’re keeping it I’d do a DIY electric fuel system and toss the keerapy stock fuel pump and stock filter assembly. Replace with SD electric pump and Donaldson and Cat spin on filters. As you’ll be handy, the above stuff can be done by you, thing is for towing.... it will not pull like the 6.7, not even close, braking again not even close.... for a reliable ranch rig, if you keep up on clean fuel and air (K&N will dust ya), Donaldson filter is what I use and watch for the above bits to replace it’ll be a great rig. When the up pipes start leaking lemme know, I’ve repaired mine with great results. Cheers, j [/QUOTE]
