Just got a B-1 and i Need to run a boost line for the wastegate, just curious of where i should tap it and what kind of hose and clamps do I need, and also curious of how to adjust the wastegate right. Any Imput would help. THANKS

 

check out some of the turbo pics here http://www.performancedieselwarehouse.com/806301.html


I would do something like what those have, and any good quality automotive hose and clamps should work, maybe some silicone tubing in your favorite color.

 

Where are the pics, I dont see any on this site?

 

It dosent have a boost elbow made in the compressor housing.

 

you can either drill and tap the compressor housing near the output and install a fitting, or you can install a fitting in the intake manifold, most trucks use one of those 2 places, as far as adjusting it, if your talking about an adjustable boost elbow I believe they have a allen head screw on them and you turn it in for more boost and out for less boost, so you would have to install it and drive the truck then adjust it, then drive and adjust, until you get it where you want it

something like these

Drill and tap the compressor housing flat spot where they stamp "TAD B1".

Check my photo gallery I have a picture where I drilled and tapped my old B104 turbo.

 

Thanks for the input fellas, installed it tonite with a MBRP 5" ...Runs and sounds great!!

 

So where did you end up getting the boost source?

 

That is one bad looking Ford in you gallery!

 

I drilled and tapped the neck that clamps to the turbo in between the turbo and the intercooler hose. Used a 1/8" 27 NPT tap and drilled it with a 5/16 bit.
