Guys I just did this mod today and I've got a couple of tips that might make life easier for those who plan on doing it as well. Get yourself a piece of 3/8" I.D. fuel hose (or any hose) about 2.5" long and shove it onto the threads on the fuel line side of the new CVD fitting when installing the one in the back. Kinda like when your installing spark plugs into a recessed cylinder head. This gives you more length to hold onto to get that fitting started. Then you don't have to worry about dropping it. It took all of 30 seconds to get it started. Also, buy a couple of extra of the Viton sleeves for the 1/4" fuel lines because I COULD NOT get that back fuel line started back onto the new CVD fitting. So I ended up removing the line from the truck and discovered a piece of the old Viton sleeve was still wadded up in the fuel line nut preventing me from getting it started with the new sleeve installed. There's literally no room back there while your laying on the engine and trying to dig that sleeve out with a pick. Once I removed the line from the truck and could actually look and see what I was doing, I got it out quickly. So in removing said line you'll need another Viton fitting to replace the one in the front at the fuel bowl. Also, snag a cheap package of vacuum line caps from Autozone or the like and slide one on the end of the fuel line when you're snaking the line back in the truck so you don't get a bunch of crap in the line while your shoving it through. The old sleeve at the front driver side cylinder head was a bear to remove as well but at least you have room (I had the alternator bracket leaning forward because I was doing the banjo bolts at the same time), so I didn't have to remove this line to get the remnants of the old sleeve out. I did the Riffraff banjo fittings, the FRX crossover, the stainless HPX line, and these CVD fittings all today and the truck runs fantastic. I can definitely tell it's running better. Great video and thanks for posting! Glad someone finally did.

[@NoHalfAss]

blown8950 I know you posted this comment 5 days ago but for some reason I never saw it! I just wanted to say thank you so much for that great info!! I love the idea of putting a piece of fuel hose on the fitting! That would have helped me a lot. There’s a lot of helpful info in your comment so I appreciate you taking the time to leave that info here to help others with the install!👍🏻🤘🏻🔥 and thank you for watching my video as well🙏🏻💯

[@Altenurgy]

I had the same problem with the old sleeve stuck on the back passenger side. Only part of it came out. It wasn't until I repeatedly fished around with a dental pick that I was able to get the rest of it out. Better yet buy the new fuel line for the passenger side and just replace the entire assembly and worry about the old sleeves being partially in there. It's cheap enough, comes with new viton sleeves and is it's a known wear and fail item. Part Number F81Z9B273BN. Of course, I didn't discover that until I had it all back together. Even better yet wait until you've got your turbo off and doing your EBPV delete and down pipes to mess with the (stupid) CVD.

I always take a picture of all wires/parts before hand that way just in case you get confused you’re good to go.

[@NoHalfAss]

2strokesnPwrstrokes smart. I usually do too but I knew I had it on video while making this. Lol

[@LivingOnWheels]

The red line is what sends boost pressure to your turbo wastegate for it to open. You will either want it attached to your wastegate or plugged otherwise you'll be bleeding a little boost. Also, I know how much of a pain this project is. When I did my CNC kit is was pulling out and putting in fittings on all 4 corners of the heads. Plenty of extra stuff with the rest of the system too. Not a fun job. Also, I HATE those viton fittings haha. They are one of the main reasons I changed my whole system.

[@NoHalfAss]

Living On Wheels good to know thanks bro! The red line is completely disconnected on both sides so I’ll try plugging the wastegate and see what happens. Thanks for the info man!! And that’s cool bro, seems like a lot of work but worth it!🤘🏻

[@LivingOnWheels]

Powerstroke Project don’t worry about plugging it on the wastegate. It won’t leak any from there. However, where it connects to the unit on the spider it might. Could easy do a soap and water bubble test to check.

[@NoHalfAss]

Living On Wheels cool. I’ll test it later🤘🏻

[@alanzeringue6032]

The red hose that is not connected needs to be re-attached. That is the pressure hose to open the Westgate to allow for excess pressure build up from the turbo to escape.

[@s.o.f.fpatriotsforlife414]

I have my wastegate clamped shut

[@Turboboob]

That’s the bad hose... it takes the power away, lol

[@kennethlitten2251]

It also keeps from blowing the pistons out the oilpan. Hook the hose back up and adjust the linkage about 7 turns tighter and you'll have roughly 25psi boost before dump

[@gprich82]

The red tube is pressure off the intake I believe just after the intercooler. It is 1 if the two ways to open the waste gate to bleed turbo pressure. The other end runs off pressure from in the turbo housing itself. The mentions about turning up the preload 7 turns on the waste gate shaft are correct. Factory is set at 5-10psi for the bleed to start which is very low and robs power. Turning up to 15 psi is fine. 20 gets up there a little. The motor can handle about 40 psi stock. The reason for factory being set low is longevity. The less stress via prolonged high boost pressure makes the turbo, intercooler, fittings and boots etc etc last longer, but robs power early. I'm replacing my waste gate and I'll set mine to 15. When you put air to it, if it starts to open at 20psi air, then the waste gate opens at 20psi boost. If it moves at 15, it cracks at 15psi boost etc. Many guys have deleted this side because you still have the gate opening from turbo pressure. Is there harm in deleting it? Probably not. "Probably" being a key word to make your own decision by.

[@blackrockbrewing5141]

Instead of wasting money on a part, just drill out the stock fitting and i guarantee you it will do the exact same thing.

[@Sochack]

I mean that's not a bad idea, but you still have to get them out of the truck which comes back around to actually taking them off which was the pain in the ass to begin with.

[@kodyk8442]

If you don’t have a fuel pressure gauge I would get one of those if I were you. That would’ve showed you if there was any major diff.

[@NoHalfAss]

Kody K good point! That would have been nice. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll start looking into one🤘🏻

[@kennethlitten2251]

You can get huge gains by hooking your red line back to your wastgate actuator and tighten the linkage bout 7 turns that should give you roughly 25psi boost. You'll probably need to put bout 20psi air to actuator to hook it back up. It'll do wonders

[@Do-UR-Research2749]

I actually removed the vacuum wastewater actuator with a spring one, which is easy to set at your desired max boost. Works great.

[@bondvagabond42]

I think the red line activates the waste gate, so with it disconnected it's basically like have your waste gate always closed, if it were me, I'd hook it back up cause I don't know if having that leak will effect other sensors and stuff, having it open might effect the pressure inside the green line for instance. People mod the heck out of these 7.3's so no need to be the guinea pig trying new stuff, and maybe breaking something, when it's all been pretty well figured out, hah. My f550 sees maybe 10% paved roads, so I don't want to possibly suck any unfiltered air into my motor, we have a 500k mile motor, why kick it in the junk and make it wear out faster by sucking abrasive dust into it ya know?

[@miles2008301]

That red tube sends your pressure of your turbo to the wastegate and once it’s to a certain pressure the waste gate opens and releases the pressure, so in your case you ether have a slight boost leak or it’s disconnected which means you might be overboosting your stock turbo which sounds cool it’s actually bad for it.

[@NoHalfAss]

Miles Ashcraft thanks for the info bro! I know I do push a lot for the stock turbo. I can get up to 25 psi now that I have the hydra. I plan on upgrading to a kc300x turbo eventually🤘🏻

[@TJH21740]

Great video man. You make it easier for us to get things done, once you do the job once or at least see it done it's easier the 2nd time so thank you. Question: Did this mod affect fuel economy one way or the other?

[@NoHalfAss]

JMK glad I could help man! That’s why I make these videos🤘🏻 honestly I didn’t see any gains from this mod. Performance was super minimal and fuel economy didn’t seem to be affected at all. It’s possible that I would have seen more gains if I had other fuel upgrades/mods already done like the hutch mod, banjo bolts, etc. but for me this mod was NOT worth the work and time it took to install them. Lol

[@Altenurgy]

I did it on my nearly stock 99 and so far it was not worth the IMMENSE effort. Maybe if you've done injectors, turbo and exhaust but it was certainly a rough 3 or 4 hours I'd like to have back.

[@NoHalfAss]

Travis Creswell I agree bro! It was definitely not worth the work! Lol

[@Altenurgy]

@@NoHalfAss I've got to say that Clay and Riff Raff are great!! But... (there's always a "but") in a perfect world there would be a much better warning about what us shade tree mechanics are up against for any of these mods. Wouldn't it be great if there was easy to read chart that ranked items on a handful of factors such as performance, reduced future maintenance (reliability) vs. ease of installation. There should also be flow chart of the order should do things. I'm pretty sure the CVD would be near the end of to do list. While I'm dreaming there should also be "while you've got all of this other stuff off now would be a great time to tackle this" list. Also... my hat is off to professional mechanics that wrench all day every day!

[@NoHalfAss]

Travis Creswell all great ideas bro!! I like all the points you just made🤘🏻 and I agree the CVD fittings probably would be towards the end. Lol

[@adamkeith7893]

That should be used in conjunction with the high pressure fuel crossover from RiffRaff. I did that install on my 7.3 Excursion and noticed a huge difference in the throttle response. You can definitely feel a difference in the pedal and it also quiets the injectors.

[@NoHalfAss]

Adam Keith that makes sense!!! I’ll have to look into that upgrade soon. Thanks bro. I heard the install was kinda shitty though?? Lol

[@adamkeith7893]

@@NoHalfAss the only hard part is removing the pipe plugs at the front passenger and rear driver fuel rails. You need a 1/4" pipe plug socket. Definitely don't attempt without the socket. Otherwise, it's fairly straightforward. Definitely worth the money. Can be done in a couple of hours without having to remove turbo. You'll definitely notice the difference.

[@racerschmeckpeper9043]

red cable sends air pressure to the waste gate to help it open when the pcm commands lower boost. i found unconnecting it doesnt really do anything. just make sure the end of the red cable is plugged otherwise you will lose boost when the valve opens.

[@NoHalfAss]

I was thinking on doing this but seems like I’ll cuss more than usual. Any mpg gains?

[@NoHalfAss]

FixItNick hahaha yeah bro it wasn’t worth it for me. But if you use this video to do it right the first time it’s not THAT bad. Like if I had to do it again it would go much more smoothly. But it still wasn’t worth it for me, however you get a lot more views and make more off ad revenue so it might be different for you. As far as mpg gains I’m still on 3/4 of a tank calculating it so I’ll let you know when I fill up again.

[@Altenurgy]

I just did mine a few weekends ago and OMG... it wasn't any fun at all! If you start with a full selection of crow's feet, flex head ratchets (1/4 and 3/8), stubby's ratchets and open ends, u-joints, etc it'll be easier. For my mostly stock early 99 it was not worth it to me. Riff Raff is a great company but honestly this one should come with some warnings about how hard it is to get to. FYI: I'm not a professional mechanic, brakes jobs and alternators on my own stuff is the bulk of what I do.

[@johnnieangel100]

The red and green vacuums operate your waste gate on the turbo. They need to be hooked up. Check and make sure the waste hate valve is working after you do get them connected properly. If those parts don't work right it holds the truck way back like the transmission is going out.

I appreciate your enthusiasm in your projects! Thanks for sharing..... A thought on your boost pressures and waste gate actuator......so if you're only getting around 20-21 lbs of boost and your waste gate actuator is defeated, seems you should be making maximum boost? As you are not, I will suspect pressure loss. I'd start looking into that (Is your air filter clean?) and I would make the appropriate repairs for the waste gate actuator too. Good luck on the project....it is never ending!

[@NoHalfAss]

S D thank you bud! Yeah so one of my subscribers mentioned my truck might be defueling and limiting my boost so he suggested I buy an electronic boost fooler which I did and I will be making a video testing it today. Also I’m goin to try plugging the wastegate port to see if that makes a difference because I might have a boost leak coming from that open port in the wastegate since the red vacuum line disconnected. And to answer your question about my intake filter, it’s almost brand new, I just bought it and installed it not too long ago so it’s clean👍🏻

[@johnlee8985]

Are these the fuel rail fittings? I think the fitting is a bottle neck and in order to really get any increase there's a few fuel filters, one in the fuel tank pick up, not sure where the other is, then there's the fuel bowl filter, that can be removed along with a spring in the fuel bowl. You may seem fuel flow increase if you do those too. I really like the air dog fuel system and tank sump. Living on wheels did a good video for it and the harpoon mod. I think there's one other mod called the hutch mod that may help.

[@NoHalfAss]

John Lee yeah I think you’re right about those fuel upgrades. I’ve had others tell me about them as well and have read about them a bit on forums. The hutch mod is one I’d really like to do. Thanks for the info man!🤘🏻🔥💯

seems like something to do while you had the x pipe out anyway .. like changing the hpop or removing the turbo to change orings or something like that

holydaman yeah totally! I would t recommend doin it by itself. Only other reason I could think is if you got upgraded injectors and they weren’t getting enough fuel. But I’m not even sure if that would even be an issue, I still have stock injectors.

I just found you guys....I have 4 trucks 7.3 94 iDi , 2000 reg cab 275k, 2000 dually 448k, excursion 385k.... we run Amsoil. Change oil filters every 25k and oil changed at 50k....we live in Ohio. Rust is forcing us to replace bodies....

[@NoHalfAss]

Damn oil change every 50k miles?!??

[@raymondguzman1907]

Oil filter changes at 25k and oil change at 50k?? I've never heard of anybody going that long . It would save a shitload of $ in the long run. I have 2 02 powerstrokes and try to service every 5 to 7k at close to 100 a truck for oil and filter change it adds up after a while. Is the reason for that because of the amsoil you use?

[@trevnico]

if you dont delete the other check valve where the fuel filter is it wont make any difference

[@sewkingwet]

your oil seals are shot on your turbo, all that oil in your turbo outlet to the spider. you have a puddle in the passenger side pipe. also your pedestal must be leaking like crazy, so much oil all over your valley and boots. I bet your turbo wheel is coated and black. Rebuild the turbo and put in new o rings top and bottom and maybe even a pedestal may be warped or uneven mounting surface. then clean all your pipes, turbo, wheel, and boots. you will have better performance and I bet it will run better.

[@NoHalfAss]

I have a video doing all that 👍🏻 KC300x turbo, ebpv delete pedestal, all new seals and O-rings, up pipes, collector, and intercooler boots

[@joeygonzales6350]

Humm yea I dont know if your super chips tuner takes car of the truck from overboosting... it could..... if you got the little metal boost tube thing with the wire that you got from bd diesel then it should get more boost because the little metal tube has a hole in it to create a boost leak so your wastegate doesnt open...

[@NoHalfAss]

Joey Gonzales I did get the one from bd diesel but it didn’t come with a metal tube 🤔 just the grounding wire...

[@joeygonzales6350]

@@NoHalfAss you can make one... just find a 1.5 inch metal tube that can fit into your red vacuum tube to the wastegate.. drill a 1/16 hole into it.. and get a rubber vaccum hose that is about 1.5 inches long and plug it onto your metal tube that is connected to your red vacuum tube and connect the other end of the rubber vacuum hose to the wastegate

[@NoHalfAss]

Joey Gonzales interesting. I’ll have to look into that more. My red vacuum line Is already disconnected on both sides so I’m having a hard time understanding what the difference is with that metal tube. Wouldn’t you get the same affect by leaving the red vacuum line plugged into the waste gate but unplugging it from the spider?

[@agent0444]

What mods have you done that you think are worth it ??

[@agent0444]

I have a 100% stock 1999 f450 and am looking on what do do first , or maybe what do do before other mods

[@NoHalfAss]

agent0444 CAI, exhaust, and a chip/tuner are always the best places to start. I have a 5” straight pipe and love it but if you want something less aggressive a 4” straight pipe is great too! The hydra is pretty much the BEST way you can go for a chip. I’ve had the edge tuner and superchips tuner, the hydra blows them away. Plus it has a “no start” setting (like a kill switch) plus low idle, and high idle settings for faster warm ups. As far as CAI I’m still not fully there yet. I did upgrade to this filter: amzn.to/2YMbVEi but it’s not enclosed so not really a cold air intake.

[@johnnieangel100]

I cut all my exhaust out. Nothing but pipe on my 7.3. Aih delete also

$15 wastergate accuator hose will more than improve the project your doing your turbo boost isnt beeing used fully. this is half ass i get the point. totaly staged or keep it real and go with it lil brother...... trolls leave him be. i wanted to buy this part simple for a few months. sent me over the edge. take a air hose with rubber end and shoot air and see the waste gate arm move. you will fully get what that lil red air hose does soo much. and crank it like they say but the down side is you can blow the turbo sooner. just hook up a new set $15 china version is fine or get the $40 ford oem. buy a new turbo if you want to see big increase with garrett ball bearing...$1700. if you go with 88mm you will just blow the motor sooner stay with stock live longer.
