well it should work for now atleast but thanks for the heads up bud! 
Turbo ls1 mustang project
Turbo ls1 mustang project I havent been able to use a computer in a while but anyways my project is about to be finished..took about 3 months to finish due to having to work more hours and having less time to put into the car, but i should have it running this week. only have one pic at the moment but the turbo kit is finished, clutch is finished, just gotta put the tranny back in with my new centerforce clutch kit and i gotta get a 2 bar map sensor and then its tune time.
thanks..on my next paycheck i get to start it up. but thats next friday. :/ gotta buy the license to tune it. Got my down pipe and turbo oil return finished..nothing left to do to the car besides tuning out the vats and a good tune and putting my chevy yoke on my ford drive shaft.

Verdad Gallardo well im in the process of tuning my car and should have it up and drivable by atleast tuesday. just gotta put my new yoke on my alluminum ford driveshaft then its out to break in the engine. It took longer than i was hoping to get done, but like everyone says, its worth it in the end..i just hope im not let down by the amount of horsepower ill have.
well horsepower is where its at for me right now trentors!! there is NO WAY im taking my car to the track untill i get a clutch kit, and a badass bellhousing..you brake them on the street even though your car is heavier, im still not gunna chance it..tuned my car today, should have it on the road either tomorrow or wednesday, then its time to start saving up for a clutch, bellhousing, and the gf's birthday wishes..haha :p
Very clean. Just a word of advice, you might think about putting a 90 degree elbow off the turbo and pulling air from somewhere other than the stuff coming off the radiator. I think you are going to be seeing some serious heat through that thing. It may just be the way it looks in the picture, but something to think about.
yea i am, im going to run a cold air intake from the turbo pretty much, just havent done it yet, going to do alot of different things once i start driving it and dont have a million things to worry about on it everyday. '
I accually just got it started today, it purrs like a kitten.
haha runs pretty well, i was expecting to have some problems at crankup with somthing since its a custom build for everything bu surprisingly i had no problem at all except its running rich right now, fixing that tomorrow and hopefully be driving it home from my school tomorrow or the next day.

and for right now whenever i do end up getting my car on the road since im having problem after problem with tuning it i will only be running 7psi with the 76mm turbo, 50mm bov, and 50mm wg. should be pretty descent for a stocker..i drove it a few times and it seems like itll make me happy but its just being a pain in the *** to tune safely.

How do U like the 340l pump? I'm going to end up getting that pump for my setup.
yea id definetly check if yours needs to be shortened first, i could have a diferent kmember or longer drive shaft..you never know, i need to get mine shortened though, but itll work for now.
and that 340 pump is badass in my opinion..for a single pump system its powerful, im only going to run mine at 43.5psi at idle and then i have a boost reference regulator thatll make it go up from their as i get on it but im liking it so far..before i set my regulator it was set at like a 100psi and it accually busted my expensive liquid filled gauge so be careful..could have just been a piece of crap..idk
