I have finally had some time to work on my project some more.

I have the intake done and mounted, fuel system is all set up, everything is wired

I about ready to start it on efi and then once it is started and running I plan to pull the exhuast and bolt on the turbo, build a new exhuast system, and then start on turbo and begin to tune.

Warm weather is on the way here in MI and so is my 02.

more pictures to come soon

Nice. I'm getting there slowly - Except I'm going to run mine on my old block until it blows up then I'll chuck in the new longblock. Let me know how it all goes. You're using the mustang tb right?

either way, you may want support brakets...ask me how i know

Not sure...but anyway

The car is now running on MS. I had a bit of trouble at first and come to find out I didn't have one of the fuses for the second injector bank pulled in all the way.

There is still more tuning to be done but it is back in the garage after two nice days of driving and I will be pulling the exhaust tomorrow to start bolting up the turbo.

First thoughts of MS......

...it is great. The car runs better than it ever did with a carb and it still needs a fair amount of tuning.

More to come soon.

I will also post pictures.

Jakeb I can see 2 things(sending units) tapped into the oil filter housing. I`m pretty sure that one is an oil pressure unit and the other is for? or is my eyesight really gone.

[jakeb]

nope your eyes are correct.

That is a s14 filter housing with connections for a oil cooler. It also has tapped spots for oil pressure and oil temp. So I am using both of them.

Pulled the old exhuast off today and start to fit the turbo. The piping to get to the intercooler is going to be tight.

A couple new pictures...

Been ordering parts and looking for time to start fitting the turbo on.

Painted the manifold recently, POR-20 hi-temp
