    i have a 2000 ford f-350 powerstroke diesel i have a 4 inch exhaust, 100 hp chip and a K&N cold air kit, when i get up to around 25 pounds of boost it sounds like the air filter is chirping like the truck is starving 4 air, my filter is brand new and is clean, any suggestions. thanks lance

    Sounds like compressor surge to me. You need to think about either a ported exhaust housing or a wicked wheel. The housing would be the better choice of the 2.

    Also, and intercooler upgrade may help make the most of the boost being produced.

    Sure the air filter is secure and the lines to the turbo are tight and in good condition?

    I talked to the local diesel shop, he said it is called a power surge, the turbo is no big enough to use all the air that is pulls in, the only way to sold this is to buy a bigger turbo, $3,000 i'll be saving for a while

    for 1...................


    Peirs Diesel
    1999-2003 7.3L ATS Ballbearing 88mm ----- $2275.00 Canadian = less than $2k USD

    The Advanced Turbo Systems ball bearing replacement turbo is specifically designed to improve the power of trucks with performance upgrades. Easy, direct bolt-on replacement for all 1999 1/2 through 2003 7.3L Power Stroke diesels!

    * Exclusive Garrett ball bearing cartridge provides unbeatable throttle response.
    * 88mm compressor wheel gives 33% more flow than the stock wheel.
    * ATS's ported shroud compressor housing improves compressor flow range for surge control.
    * 1.00 A/R turbine housing for up to 200° reduction in exhaust temperatures.

    The ATS ball bearing turbo uses the same ball bearing system as the CART racing engines, which creates very little friction and unbeatable thrust control, making the turbo ultra responsive in any RPM range.
