I don't plan to ever put it back to stock but with the exception of the shifter hole (which is easy to hide) Im not doing anything to the car that can't be undone and put back to the way the Good Ford intended.helps me sleep at night I fuess. It was an odd feeling to take a cutoff wheel to a car in such good condition though haha.

beautifull car bro, i love the modular motors, but a cobra ls swapped is always amusing. Good work on the car man it looks killer. I was gonna ask on the fast intake, I know it sat close to the coolant tank, however why didnt you just modify a notch into it and put a vband on the tb and tight 90 it? just curious, Im always curious when i see people starting off with a new intake and then switching to a whole other setup. not opposed just curious

Just because there's no need to hack it up. Especially to then run the intake so close to hot coolant. The tank will be relocated and then nothing has to look forced or misplaced.

Going single turbo. 5.7 is getting replaced with a 5.3. The 6spd is gonna stick around and die an honorable death. Ordered my turbo this morning and just finished the hotside order about an hour ago. Going to pull the motor out here soon and recoup some cost. Seems stupid to have put it together that far but I've wanted a turbo car for too long to pass up a good opportunity. Shouldn't have a whole lot out of pocket at this point once I sell off the stuff I can't use

I have no idea, it's still in the car right now. Hopefully part it out soon.

Hotside will be here tmrw, will mock it up on Friday and see if it's even close to fitting

really pleased with the quality of the manifolds


It's tight but the turbo actually clears everything fine. That's the condenser in the picture, which won't be there obviously.
Going to delete the ABS block to make some room, maybe be able to fit the big DP that way.


Will be running a pair of these Precision 46s


Not bad for a test fit

So the standard f-body hotside fits with the 03 Cobra?

This is their Fbody kit yes. Obviously some things will have to be relocated. But im hoping to not have to modify the hotside at all. So far it looks like I wont have to. I didn't buy their cold side (yet) because I might be pushing my luck there

Cold side will be easier to fab. You can probably do that yourself. Everything continues to look outstanding.

Going to pick up my 5.3 Saturday. Hopefully pull the car back apart tmrw.

Ditching the 6spd setup as well, so I've got a lot of parts to liquidate
