hi, how many people are running a turbo on the stock 2.8 diesel rocky.
and would it be worth it or should i just build up a stock turbo motor instead.
Thanks Rick

turbo on stock diesel
Moderator: Tiny
if u can its simple... well all i had to do was bolt mine when i got it tho
pick up as turbo intake/exhaust manifold
find a turbo that matches the exhaust flange
run oil lines from sender to somewhere---dont remember
run water lines from thermostat thru turbo and back into the black
this was setup by a turbo specialist for a 2.8NA--i think
or if your trick make your own exhaust manifold for whatever turbo u want.
ALSO-- u can turn up fuel by adjusting a screw on the back of the fuel pump
i havent done it yet so i may be wrong

It would be awesome to get a injector pump with boost compensator attached... Coz if you find a compensator somewhere, it should have the pump nearby anyways 
I'm not sure if the pumps are driven the same way on your models...
If you don't run one... You will only have ideal fuel mixture at ONE certain rpm. You can tune the pump to suit higher boost by putting more fuel in... but at lower boost pressures or when off boost, it will be overfuelling.
The other side of the coin is have the correct fuel when off or at lower boost, but you will run lean when the snail spools right up.

yer it was at padstow it had been rolled (big time) most of it was gone.
someone beat me to the motor but didnt wont the turbo.??
he had a dai pump with boost comp. but it was a gear drive not belt.
have had this stuff for about for a year now still lookin (not very hard) for inlet manifold. might have to chop my N/A manifold up.
