fmic?and turbo?

87merkur · April 8th, 2008, 07:51 PM

im building my 2.3turbo...im takin it to my g.pas this weekend to prime it then were gonna drop the motor in and do all the mechanical stuff then paint and clear coat.....this way i wont scratch the brand new paint job puttin the motor in n stuff...now for the questions

ive been buying parts that i need for my car left n right. the ones i need to get it goin that way i can just put them all on at once.

I bought a fmic so i wouldnt have to fight with the stock one i got w/ the motor(that and i dont have ne piping for it)
So will the stock 88 turbo still work w/a front mount cuz my buddy told me i need to upgrade the turbo or i will get to much air and it will have lots of lag....so would i really need to upgrade the turbo of can i leave the stock one thare till i have money for the upgrade kit?

next question?......is this kit here on ebay a bolt on kit? eBay Motors: T3/T4 FULL Turbo Kit - FORD 2.3L RANGER / Turbo Coupe (item 380014764254 end time Apr-10-08 16:15:17 PDT) i kno i would prob have to get a new fuel pump and injectors.....and would i also have to get a tune? How much woud it cost to get an 88 mustang tuned?

and im sure there will be more later

the turbo will run fine with the fmic no matter where its mounted, just a matter of plumbing it

and dont buy ebay turbo parts
