Wastegate Turbine Housing
Ford Powerstroke from 1994-1997
Fuel delivery for the Powerstroke engine is computer
controlled. The engine will not emit black smoke on acceleration. This is good
for the environment and absences of soot and discoloration of towed vehicles is
great. The down side to this is a large reduction in acceleration and
drive-ability, and with an intercooler the volume of air that needs to be
pressured is even greater causing slower acceleration. The best way to bring
acceleration and drive-ability back to the drivers is to introduce more air
quicker at low engine speeds. ATS accomplishes this task with our new Wastegate
Turbine Housing.
The quick response Wastegate Turbine Housing for the 1994 – 1997 Powerstroke
is unique in design and function. The unit has an external adjustable wastegate
that is accessible and easy to adjust. Exhaust gasses pass through a separate
chamber and advance through a wastegate valve before entering the scroll, or
volute section of the turbine housing. This maintains exhaust gas velocity for
faster turbine spin up and throttle response, and it alleviates back-pressure.
It gives an 8 to 12 horsepower increase to the rear wheels. The Wastegate
Turbine Housing is a true bolt-on replacement part. For city and mountainous
driving, throttle response is excellent.
