It is crazy what modern turbo technology can do to a 20 year old turbo design. Most people focus too much on the “compressor wheel” because that is what everyone can see, but the fact of the matter is 90% of the “turbo magic” comes from the turbine side of the turbo, and KC Turbos did their due diligence to make this the best option on the market. In addition, they increased the thickness of the shaft to support the extra power and help make their KC38r Turbo 66/73 even more robust. No other drop in 7.3 turbo on the market runs a larger shaft, (6.4mm vs 7.5mm). This is a larger 7×7 wheel and is modeled after the 366sxe compressor wheel… same profile, shape, and blade style, except it is reverse rotation. This wheel is not only bigger, but stronger.
**EXHAUST BRAKES: KC get asked a lot about exhaust brakes and if they work with their turbos. We have found that some brands have clearance issues and might cause the brake to hinder performance, rub the turbine wheel, or cause other issues. These brakes typically use some sort of flapper to close which causes extreme exhaust back pressure to aide in braking. This can be hard on a turbo and motor and is not recommended. It will be up to the customer to verify fitment and functionality.**
**KC’s KC38r Turbo 66/73 are designed to fit directly in 7.3 equipped pick-up trucks. Although their turbos can drop into 7.3 equipped Vans, you will need to modify the turbo intake boot and down-pipe for proper fitment**
