New turbo'd 6.2 owner

[deepseeman]

Hey guys,
finally got my motor swapped out and put a 6.5 turbo on it. man what a difference! why didnt i do this a long time ago?

anyway, i noticed yesterday that after i turned her off that i had smoke coming out the air filter. is this normal?

Wheres the pics! especially the downpipe

And have you replaced/ cleaned your cdr?

And did you do a complete engine swap? or just put the turbo on the 6.2

Where did you get the engine? Link? Cost? Time taken to do the swap? Details man details!

Congratulations! But be gentle with it, lest you find the next weak link in the 6.X chain... I vote that the head gaskets will go, or a molten piston will present itself due to increased EGT's.

You ARE monitoring EGT's, right?

ok, so here are the pics. I bought the motor and turbo from boyce equipment out of utah. the motor was out of an ambulance with only 16k on it. price....1800 shipped to San Diego. It took me a full weekend to install it by myself. Ed hanson here in San Diego did the exhaust. I havent installed my EGT temp gage yet, so yes Im takin it easy.

any recommendations for the egt kit?

Nice job, You might want to get a Banks air filter housing for it, it's piped through the radiator support to the grill. Kinda like a ram air setup to feed the turbo with cold air. cold air=O2

Isn't that CDR valve hooked up backwards? On mine the connection from the circumference of the CDR goes to the engine, and the pipe from the flat face goes to the intake pre-turbo...
