Got things pretty much sealed up and painted. I started ordering some fittings so I can start plumbing the water tank. Prettt happy with this set up so far. I'm really interested to see what the weight bias on the car is going to be like. Should be really close to 50/50.

I also ordered a set of 68/65s to play with on this baby 4.8 engine. Should make boost just off idle.

Killer, looking forward to more videos. I decided to ditch the single s480 idea and went with 2 s362's. From their compressor map diagram they should work pretty well and be over 78% efficient from 14-28 lbs

Thanks, I just switched over to a set of 67/66's. Should make boost just off idle damn near.

Looks good man. Be careful with those plastic push lock hoses close to heat. I had one near the turbine housing in a heat sleeve and it still melted it shut...

Those are cast wheel turbos? What did you pay for them? A/R?

I have the turbo kit ripped off. Changing the vbands on the headers, and making full aluminum down pipes with 11G aluminum.

Wow what a build. I have a question. What throttle cable did you use that you were able to keep the stock mustang pedal?

Thank you.

Yes, stock pedal. I used the fbody lokar cable and just trimmed it down since you can take it completely apart.

any progress? Just read through the whole 19 pages. This is one bad *** ride man! I have a SN95 that I wanted to do a single turbo LS swap, to still have the room for A/C. Your build has changed my plans. Keep it coming.
