Long Awaited Turbo build...

So everythings starting to come together and its time to get this turbo business going. I already have all the supporting mods for boost minus stock tranny. I originaly designed my own kit just dont have all the welding skills/tools to do my own hotside so i was going to have it fab'd to my specs/routing but in order to save time and money i am ordering the on3 piping kit monday and fab my own coldside. Im not a fan of the same side inlet/outlet intercooler designs or where the post intercooler piping comes back up the drivers side. I moved the coolant res so I have room to run the coldside piping from the intercooler up the passenger side and to the tb.

I wont go in to detail here about the supporting stuff i have done already i will just list it and post links. These mods were done to free up room for the turbo and piping.

Some pics

Intercooler mock up and install is done with the help of greg
Pretty staright foward thought i was going ot have to cut the bumper beam but turns out the intercooler fit
Put some pipe insulating foam on the ac line behind it so it wouldnt rattle on the intercooler. Fit like a glove nice and snug and secure!

nice....good luck with the build, it looks like fun

Next up will be the install of the ford gt pumps and mocking up my coldside piping/routing. Stay tuned!

Looking good !

Thanks guys, hey billy im guessing i didnt have to cut the bumper because of no tranny cooler, arent u auto?

Looking good, are you going to run any boost controller?

I want an eboost2, but initailly i just might run off the wastgate, depends on funds after i get everything togther.

Should be awesome. damn i asked to buy just the hotside from on3 and he said they wouldnt thats great though man. My turbo setup should be running next week just got to weld my cold side and run my oil lines

have you thought about coating the hot pipes inside and out along with the exhaust housing it will help. wrap them also with fiberglass.

Yes I am an auto . I didn't have to cut it , I just didn't like it sitting so close and the bumper being there the air flow is much less then with it done the way I had it . It should work fine the way you have it though.
