Turbo Kits and Accessories for 1983–1987 Ford 6.9L IDI Diesel Trucks

The 6.9L IDI diesel built Ford’s reputation for reliable workhorse power, but from the factory, these engines came naturally aspirated — leaving plenty of performance potential untapped. Adding a turbocharger to your classic 6.9L IDI transforms it into a stronger, more efficient diesel that can tow heavier, climb faster, and run cooler under load.

A turbo kit upgrade provides a major performance improvement by increasing airflow and combustion efficiency. With a properly sized turbo, your IDI gains smoother acceleration, improved throttle response, and more usable torque across the RPM range. It’s one of the most effective upgrades you can make to enhance drivability and towing performance.

If your truck already has a turbo setup, maintaining it with quality accessories ensures consistent reliability. Items like oil feed and return lines, gaskets, exhaust adapters, and clamps prevent leaks and preserve boost pressure. A well-maintained turbo system keeps exhaust temperatures down and improves engine efficiency.

Boost control accessories, including wastegates and boost gauges, allow fine-tuning for safe power levels. Combined with high-quality intake and exhaust plumbing, these components help your turbo operate at peak efficiency and extend its lifespan.

Proper airflow and fueling are key — pairing your turbo system with a free-flowing intake and upgraded exhaust ensures your 6.9L IDI breathes easily, maximizing the benefits of added boost without increasing stress on internal components.
