Just so you know, you'll have to trailer the car to the dyno after the install. When you change out with the new injectors the car won't start with the stock computer. It would be crazy to start it up with the stock tune anyway. You'll love the sound and the whine though. That's an awesome deal!

really? I figured I could drive it to get it tuned as long as I stayed out of the boost.
Anyways.... I'm going tonight to hopefully pick it up. As long as its an actuall procharger and not an A/C condensor or an altenator or something I guess I'm coming home with it. I figured worse case senario if It had to be rebuilt its still all worth a $1000.
I should get everything but the fuel pump. Where is the cheapest place to get the svt focus pump? or is there a better set up to go with?
Well... help me out on the fuel pump guys, and I'll get some pics tonight !

My Ford GT pump was actually cheaper than an SVT Focus pump. Plus it has a lot more LPH capability. I wouldn't recommend driving it all that much. I didn't have the blower piping all hooked up so it wasn't pushing any air into the engine it just blow all over the ground (which is why I'm known as the "Street Sweeper" as well as where my blowoff is pointed) and it idled high as hell and ran like crap. IF and only IF you want to drive it to the dyno shop what I recommend doing is hooking everything up but leave the stock injectors on and stock MAF and just drive it down to the shop then have them install the rest of the stuff... or trailer it down there (U-haul $65a day). Keep in mind you will most likely have to extend your MAF sensor connecter wires because the MAF actually hides in the fender well.

thanks for the info... is there any other sensor wires or anything I should try to ****** up while i'm there?

Your stock MAF WILL tap out and so will a Lightning 90mm MAF. I have an SCT Big Air 2800 that is only at like 63% duty cycle @ 7000rpm 13ish psi (only did this for tuning).If you get that it takes the place of the IAT sensor as well.
