Default New Turbo stang on board

Sup Everyone, I'm new to this board. Thanks for having me. Have a 2003 GT undergoing a turbo install. Turbolocity kit to be exact. As i write this, i have the tubular k member, and a-arms. Gotta love the intercooler "32 inch wide" and look at the headers. The headers are bolted up and i just need to fabricate my piping into the the intake. Hopefully, i can get some advice on fuel system and pcm chip. Anyone know of turbolocity kit on this forum? Thanks again.

Pitz

i am in noway a turbo expert, but it looks nice! quick question though, i heard you should use the stock manifold(s) instead of headers when using turbo's? true or false?

Catback, I noticed you are from the Chi. Are you in the city or the burb's? I am from Downers Grove out by Naperville but I am in the USAF currently in Va.

Nice setup, what do the numbers sound like at the wheels? Is your stock setup going to handle the power increase?

Hi Everyone,

Im looking to push 400 before engine blows. DSS racing is down the street from my house. Their big in the Mustang world and i plan to order some pistons, rods, and crank. Hopefully that should keep me consistent over 5-600 hp range. I had to relocate my battery to the back too. I welded my own battery box, and placed it on the passenger back. More pics to come but here is my ride currently and the mess during install in my garage.
