cardude99 did you install this your self or have it done? also witch way do your manifolds point like stock? got pics of the instructions for install? sorry about so many questions but Iam trying to assemble my own kit as I don't have 5k+ for a kit. thanks Jeff

holy crap dude that engine bay is dirty do u rally race it with the hood off? :D

Jebmustangv6 02-19-2010 02:50 PM

I checked out a few kits and got my ideas in order and I know what I wanna do now its renting a pipe bender and getting the car on the big tall jack stands and putting what I got on paper into reality. thanks the PH kit looks nice. is it a suck through MAF or Blow through MAF?

cardude99 02-19-2010 08:15 PM

its a blow through design

no i did not install it myself, i wish i had that type of mechanical ability

ya i know its dirty, have you ever tried to keep an engine bay clean in Arizona, its pointless. this is my daily driver and i don't feel like wiping down the engine bay every other day lol.

i dont have any pics of the intercooler, i still use the stock v6 bumper so its hard to notice it through that small opening. as for the pipes underneath my crossover pipe is custom cause i have a tr6060 trans that it needed to fit around. and my exhaust is well lets call it a work in progress lol

im pretty sure that it utilizes either stock or after market (your choice) headers as the manifolds. not 100% though. you should contact mike at powerhouse and ask him for a definite answer

cardude99 02-19-2010 08:21 PM

Oh jebmustang06 if you are getting a turbo be prepared to drop some coin on an alum d/s, 8.8 rear end, air to fuel and boost gauges, rear lower control arms, sticker than stock tires, dyno tune, and if you have the crappy t5 trans then you may want to think about a swap to a 3650 or a 6060

Where did you purchase your turbo kit and installation? somewhere in phoenix?

Haha imo THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL is a little misleading. I was looking for YOUR turbo charger installed, with pics!

Cardude99 that is a nice setup you got there! Hows the turbo in DD?

Jebmustangv6 02-20-2010 04:57 AM

I checked out PH and spoke with mike but I can't afford 5K+ for a turbo. I will be building my own pipes and getting a s400xs series turbo.

MustangMike696 02-20-2010 09:19 AM

Nice setup man, kinda dirty

Jebmustangv6 02-21-2010 03:48 AM

So now I found a few places that rent pipe benders they are manual ones and I found a place to get the bulk pipe and flanges. spoke to TurboDave about the B.O.V. and waste gate been told by everyone not to skimp on these two items not cheap ebay junk there. gonna cheap out on the intercooler and piping seen the ebay ones work good at the power level I am looking at maybe 340-350rwhp. Called american muscle about injectors but they don't have them in stock gonna call a few other companies monday and see If I can find someone that has 39lb or 42lb injectors for the v6. I just need to get some band clamps for the hot side pipes found a local truck exhaust shop that has them and will sell me some cheap. So now its just getting all the turbo, and parts here.Then figuring out exactly how and where I wanna mount it. will hopefully have it started next month as money is the biggest issue need to sell some things I have on the shelf. already listed my CIA here. thanks for the pics.

cardude99 02-21-2010 02:32 PM

bought it used a few years ago

its a fun dd but i really want a second car cause a turbo 4.0 is not the most reliable

Jebmustangv6 02-22-2010 04:00 AM

whats not reliable about it cardude99?

cardude99 02-22-2010 10:41 AM

parts tend to break, right now im having fuel issues and its very frustrating

Jebmustangv6 02-22-2010 12:24 PM

Well I decided to go N20 for now can't afford the turbo. wow its amasing how many ppl wanna sell N20 kits lol
