international diesel was the first gen diesel made used by ford, now they use the powerstroke engine, you cant go wrong with 7.3 engine from srond 99-03

which one do you have again, i see nothing for a f150 on that site, did you use one from a stang? and also those look similar to a turbo but the just have a pulley on them, interesting hmm

well a supercharger from behind looks similar to a turbo seeing how the air is being forced thru it by a impeller. a supercharger is belt driven and a turbo runs off exhaust, so thats the basic difference. a turbo is "free horsepower", but has lag.....a supercharger "takes power to make power", and is instant horsepower. if anything you can call the 1800 number for vortechand they can tell you the different set ups that they have for your truck. i have friends who own automotive shops, so i just had them order the kit for me
