Using this turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is a 1999.5 - 2003 Ford with a 7.3L Powerstroke engine. If you're replacing an old turbocharger, remove it carefully following your vehicle's repair manual. Then, install the new XR1 Series Turbocharger in its place. Make sure all connections are secure. When it comes to maintenance, check the turbocharger regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Keep an eye on the EGTs as the turbocharger helps lower them. If you notice any unusual noises or a drop in performance, it might be time to have it inspected. And if you've opted for the polished compressor housing, clean it gently with a soft cloth to keep its unique look.
