    Looks good so far. Whats left? Exhaust, B.O.V., Intake, intercooler? Step on it... Im gettin' antsy here. :burnout:

    Curious, how did you come up with that turbo. Im starting to look for mine and am not sure what to be looking for.

    Iv'e got so much to do it's not funny :oops:

    oil lines,bov,intake,Cold side pipes,intrecooler,dump pipe for the wastegate,battery relocation,relocated oil filter,and other fun stuff.

    I done some reading over on turbomustangs and tried to pick something I felt would support my power goals and give me room to grow.To a point it would be easier to fabricate stuff for a "universal" application turbo.
