KC Turbos KC300X 63MM Turbo - 7.3 OBS Powerstroke 1994-1997

Start off with saying the compressor housing is NOT polished like the pictures. That doesn’t really matter just would’ve been nice. Comes in a really nice package that prevents damage. The Bellowed up pipes however, are kinda hard to install. There are absolutely no instructions at all. I went on someone else’s website and found some. Just to save you a lot of time just use a hammer and hit the drivers side up pipe from below to get it out. The new one has plenty of room to fit back in there. The new pipes are stainless(good) with nice TIG welds. The flanges are just mild steel though with a coating of some sort. I put it all back together after wrestling with it. I tightened it down and had some bad leaks. So after I ran it for a few minutes I retightened everything and drove it and got it nice and hot. Retightened again to the point I thought I may break a bolt. Still has pretty bad exhaust leaks. Not sure what to do now. It runs and drives just fine. I didn’t notice any difference over stock but I can’t get the exhaust to seal up all the way. I needed a new turbo and up pipes so I’m not disappointed that I did this Just disappointed that I can’t get it to seal up all the way
