I am trading turbos with another member. I pulled mine off this morn. Not a bad job. Took about an hour and a half taking my time. Gasket sets were 9.00 + shipping. I took some pics.

Look at that nasty greasy TD motor, I love it. I've been hovering over that new (to me) engine for a few days now. Say, that turbo looks just like the one on the LDS parts engine.

Mark, you should have drilled and tapped for a pyro sensor while you had the turbo off. Sould have reminded you...
The image below shows the turbo w/waste gate from the LDS-465-1A that I had. Next to it is the "D" turbo I installed in my truck.

Guess it really depends on what you have! The LDS outside has a "D" turbo, no 'gate. The only one I've seen that consistently has the 'gated turbo is the LDS427. Hey Bjorn, does the manifold neede to be drilled from the bottom or can it be drilled from the side?

It doesn't matter, side or bottom, just get rid of the shavings.

Bjorn, Did you have that wastegated turbo on before then swap out for the "D" turbo? If you did, was there any difference in performance between the two?

I never used the waste gate turbo. It was on an LDS engine, it was parted out
and sold. Got the engine back in 1993, so it's all history.
I like the "D" turbo, though, it's not a whistler, but the sound will give you goosbumps.

Cranetruck, can you post the pics where to install the gauge. Will have the turbo off for a couple of days this week.

Sure. Right where "a" is.
Use an 1/8 NPT tap for the pyrometer thermocouple probe.

I'll drill my manifold tomorrow, since my truck will be down for a few days. I'm going to eventually install a EGT and Boost gauge setup.
Bjorn
Where did you tap the intake for the boost gauge?

There is a plug for this on the intake manifold. No drilling necessary. Also 1/8 NPT.

Why do they want you to drill the hole there? One would think that it would be better closer to the middle of the manifold so you could get temp info from both ends?

Thats about as middle of the manifold as you can get. Its right above the turbo which is in the middle.

Here is a pic of where I mounted my thermocouples. One reads the front 3 cylinders, the other reads the rear cylinders. There is a plenum in the center, don't drill there.

Armada,
I remember you writing of your pyro guage install in a thread last year. Where did you get the dual guage setup?
Any chance of a link to the previous thread with the pictures?

Gary, here is the link.

The gages and thermocouples and wires were from Hewitt. They even gave me gage bulbs to change from 12v to 24v.

They were very helpful.

Thanks Armada, I have it bookmarked.Armada said:
I like the 24v bulb part.
