Thumbs up Turbo Bullitt 08

Mileage of when the turbo went on








MGW


Wideband, boost gauge and raptor shift light


Koni Yellows


CHE lower control arm


CHE adjustable upper control arm








Car feels a bit faster than my 08 GT with 3:55s. Spools up a bit quicker with the 3:73s. It made 420/440 on a mustang dyno.

The Konis make the ride quality night & day!!!

That looks like a tight fit! You don't have clearance issues with the engine torquing over? It looks like you have a power steering fluid leak at one of the fittings.

You have weights on your rear axle. I thought they stopped using them. My 06 did come with those weights.

Good eye! My old 08 had a PS problem so a flexible custom line was made. So when I swapped over the parts I told them that I wanted that line in the new car. In the process of swapping it over he spilled some PS fluid.

I wouldn't know about the weights on the axle.

It's a kit. I didn't buy it because most people have posted fitment issues. Maybe redxls can tell us if he's experienced any of that.


Also it's a T76 which is a bit too big for our stock 4.6.
