Makes all that hard work worth it man. Nice to see it bringing home trophies.

Thanks guys! It really does make all the time and money worth it! Not that it wasn't already!

Hey let me ask you, how reliably does your Stang run using this turbo kit? I know you havent had it on long, but is there anything that you are constantly adjusting or fixing, etc? I wanted to use the same kit on mine, but I am worried about it compromising how reliable it is.

The reliability is great! The only thing I had to fix was the power steering relocation line. I would disconnect it from the reservoir and twist it to where the stress is pulling it away from the pulley. Mine touched it after 2 weeks and put a hole in the line. Other than that I haven't had to fix anything on the kit (knock on wood) and have put about 2500 miles on it so far!

how many miles do you have on your motor? I have 90k...should I be concerned with putting a turbo on?

Did I miss where you discussed how the ground clearance is? (and what springs you run)

The ground clearance is low but I really havent run into any problems (I am on H&R Supersports). The key is that the low points are between the front two tires. The only times I've ever scraped are on places with steep crest like in certain parking garage. Im beyond happy with the kit!

Hrrrrm, I may be getting the turbo itch (have had, im just too cheap).. I think I like the Zimmer's routing better for more clearance but S&H is cheaper and a great forum vendor (not that Zimmer's is not). I am on K-springs which would be slightly less drop than you, when I drag currently it's the exhaust towards rear tires right before it swings up over the axle.

We are making a kit that takes care of all the clearance issues.

This is not interesting at all :I lie:

Very nice!

 

[W3bb3r04]

Thanks man!

Looking good. Let us know how you like the Konis. Im going to be replacing my OE shocks and struts in the next couple of months.

I love them so far! So much better than 100k mile OE ones on Supersports lol

Im not even turbo'ed just CAI/Tune/4.10's and I can't hook these tires at the track to save my life. Not that I am a good drag driver, but seems much better on street.
