Default Im Back! Yea the guy with the Ebay turbo kit.

Anyways the car is still running, currently at 103k miles.

I have since installed sub frame connectors and a boost controller to the car. The addition of the speed inc alternator bracket and the powermaster 140amp alternator really screwed up my tune as everything is actually seeing full voltage now.

The original cables on the car were all shot with acid residue on the inner cable. I replaced it all with 0/2 Welder cable and now see 13+ volts. Before I was lucky to see 11.8.

Currently running the low boost at 6lbs and the high boost is set at 8lbs.

The boost controller is the Profec b 2. Its alright and gets the job done. I installed it in the little storage slot in front of the gear selector. Pics are available upon request.

Had the car thrown on a dyno for ***** and giggles and it made 401hp, 404 torque on a mustang dyno at 6lbs of boost. This is with the A/F really screwed up, as It is running really rich at under 10.0 because of the voltage increases.

There is alot of horsepower hiding and should come out with a good tune.

If that wideband was right and it was in the 9.xx's I'm surprised it didn't hesitate and hiccup. Mine did that when it was in the low 10.00's afr

I msged Frost to see if he can look at my tune but guessing he is busy. Anyone with experience wanna take a look at it and see if they can lean it out for me?

I don't have the license for it or I'd help you out.

Once you get that fixed and get your afr right, you will see a world of difference.

Your not too rich, your boost is too low. Turn up the boost until the afr comes to where it should be.

Glad to see you're still out and about man. I was a little concerned with having 92k and starting a build, so it's good to hear that you're kickin at 103k!

Well I pulled the wires and what do I find? Melted wires once again. This could explain the misfires and 400hp numbers lol.

Replaced the bad wires and wrapped the problem area in a little bit of aluminum foil then put them back into the spark plug boot/sleave for now. I was hoping the sparkplug sleeves would stop them from getting hot but its obviously not enough.

Going to purchase better sparkplug wire protectors to hopefully solve the issue.

Put the new tune on I got from Frost and the car feels way stronger. Happened to get pulled over right after my last run but the cop gave me a break.

Check out the pics.
