Default wow..just ran my car with my turbo setup

wow!!!! thats all i have to say. yesterday i finished my turbo project that i been working on for the past 3 months. by the way i got 93 mustang coupe. yesterday after installing right spark plugs i took it for a lil test drive...man that thing pulls realllllly hard in all gears,especially 3-4. its just nuts. i think iam lifting my heads since its overheating a bit if driven under hard boost.oh well nothing comes cheap so i will put some cometics gaskets along with arp head studs.

its just weird how it breaks loose in second gear once the turbo spools up to 7-8psi.i took my buddy along for a test drive around the block.he owns 99 gt with full exhaust and he says its way faster then his car.all i heard from him once i flooer in second gear was"holy ****,holy fk...this things insane.." lol. i still need to adjust my timing and fuel pressure so hopefully it'll run stronger in some days.i would put up some pictures once i get my car cleaned on sunday.iam getting full detail done so it'll be nice and shiny again

hmm, mine breaks 'em loose in 2nd at about 2800rpm, and I don't have forced induction (yet).

If you come down to meridian performance to get it dyno'd get in touch with me, I'd like to take a look.

I'm pretty sure it means he thinks that under full boost the head bolts are stretching and the heads are pulling up off the deck. I would think that if this was the case there'd be a bunch of head gasket material all over the engine compartment.

i would suggest going with a 3-row aluminum radiator like
a fluidyne and beefing up your water pump with a edelbrock
or a stewart pump.
