Default windstar update **egr lowered w/ pics pg 4**

so the windstar is very slowly comming along. so far the biggest problem is the damn egr, i was originally gonna just move it down, then i decided to delete it to make life easy (i would need a tuner) and now im back to moving it down because i dont havea tuner. ive got the main bracket done but i have to modify the piping and the original plan isnt working. hopefuly i can fix this problem tomorrow. i hope that this cable will work for my throttle cable so i dont have to buy a 01-04 stang throttle cable but im kinda worried about that. i deleted the iac port off the tb and made a very thin throttle body spacer to help the gaskets seal better. (the windstar uses a weird rubber gasket and it doesnt line up great w/ the tb). i have the little iac relocation bracket done but i dont know where to mount it yet.i also now need to find somewher to mount the egr control sh*t and i need to find a way to add a vacume port onto the windstar...
if you havent seen it already...the new rad hose...

Seems like alot of work for not much in return. What ever happened to that guy that was supposed to get his dyno'd several weeks ago?

its all about the $$$. this will be quite a bit cheaper than porting out the upper and it will flow a ton better than a ported and polished upper.

I've heard the windstar is the best, but the f150 is slightly easier.
