Have to brag a little :)

So my boyfriend has a 2001 7.3 F-350 and he just put in a sequential turbo on it and OMG the thing has so much power, He had a lot of work, but it cruises making 8 pounds of boost, and I know some of you are probably like who cares hes wasting fuel, but its so fast, with a boost leak he is making 40 pounds he couldnt even get 40 pounds (without overheating) with one turbo!!! I will try and get some pictures but its something to think about

Sounds like fun Ashley, make sure he makes some trans upgrades, or you both will be bragging all the way to the trans shop. The 4R100 is not known to do so well under those torque conditions without heavy mods. I have plenty of scrap parts scattered around to prove it.

And make sure he keeps an eye on his EGT's!! Don't wont to melt any pistons. BTW 8 PSI isnt hard to achieve at cruising speeds. Mine usually runs between 5 and 10 psi cruising 70 down the highway and that Is on a stock turbo. You got me beat on overall boost though. I've only seen 25 in mine (stupid map sensor). sounds cool though. take some pictures and post them up!

he has a six speed so hes pretty sure the trans will be fine, hes not pulling right now, but he said when he gets to that point he will worry about those kind of modifications, now if only I could get him to make my truck cool haha oh and as for the EGT's there is no worries, it's like no one is in the truck with him, He has the windows down so he can hear the thing (snowing in April here so its kinda cold...) and hes got those gauges in his eye the whole time sometimes I wonder if hes paying attention to the road...but as for pictures I will have to go undercover to get them...he said I cant have one yet...

get the camo paint out and get some!!

As far as the trans goes even though he has a 6 speed he might want to upgrade his clucth if he hasnt. southbend clutch has some awesome systems. There is also Luk clutches.

clutch was upgraded the first week he had it

I dont know what it is with boys and their trucks but he is so protective of it haha Im trying though, I saw it and even though I can only tell that there is two turbos there it does look cool
