This is my first post!!!! I am new to powerstroke.org and am very excited to be a member. After owning 8 different OBS powerstrokes over the years,:icon_ford: I have sold them all but one and bought my first superduty bodystyle truck. :woot: I have an early 99 and cant help but saying I have noticed the way that the intake spider was made and the restrictive flow that it seems to create. :doh: Would it be beneficial to delete the intercooler and put an OBS intake from the turbo directly into the intake plenums. Has anyone tried this?
