Ok, so 3 months ago we tore my car down in hopes to install the turbo! Well last nite after hours of fooling with installing the gears and adjusting the rockers i got to drive it a lil. As it sits right now there is no exhaust on it other than the downpipe! So its a little loud to say the least. But thanks to my father the intercooler and everything is all mounted.
I really wanted to take it for a lil test drive down the road and back but didnt have headlights so i robbed the pair from my fathers 94 v6. I dont think he really minded cuz he got to go for a ride too. And i learn one very important thing from that ride last nite. I LOVE BOOST!!! And proceeded to find any reason to run to the store!!! lol After all the trips, we pulled a plug to make sure she isnt runnin too lean and the plug looked fine. Getting guages very soon
So after the exhaust is done and i get a few guages I can start driving it as much as i want.

wow man congrats on this! glad to see you finally got it up and running after all this time as soon as you get your exhaust set up you should get some pics and vids along with maybe some dyno numbers

[Shine1Stang]

What turbo are you running?
What waste gate are you running?
What injectors are you running?

[shinerstang]

It's a Garrett PT61 with 24# injectors. We'll go to the 60# and install all the other goodies once he gets his tranny. He just wanted to drive it, so I put it together for him. The thing is pretty nasty on 3lbs of boost, can't wait to see what 15lbs does to it.......

oo i see.. well im guessin some boost is better than no boost! so what are the plans from here on out? how long till you plan on getting your built tranny? and what else are you getting besides that?

[jgt58]

thinking of doing a twin turbo..... i'll be watching your progress

[shinerstang]

I just finished his rear seat delete. I made it myself and it's looking sharp!!!!!

jgt, it's easier and cheaper to do a single turbo unit. The twins are very small......

[slvr2000stang]

Congrats.
Good to hear it's finally boosted.

[shinerstang]

Kirk!!!! What the heck are you doing over here? How have you been buddy?

See you in about 82 days......
