Maybe you guys can learn me turbos?
Is that a serious request or is that sarcasm? I see that your car is turbo so I sense sarcasm...

then i reallized that i should loosen all the v-band clamps and mount the support bracket first,then tighten all the piping.

How exactly did you tap into the oil pan? Its aluminum right? How thick? Reason im asking is bc a buddie had his oil changed at a local shop in his 04 LS1 GTO and they ran one of his skidplate bolts up into the oil plug hole with an impact and now its STUCK like not coming out without a torch or something. Even if it did come out the threads would be F'd but i was thinking he could do what you did and drill/tap a new plug hole in it but i dont if his pan is thick enough to do that. And also AWESOME thread! Ultimate fun street car for me would be two options, a twin screw blower or Turbo.

the pan is steel. i think he just needs a new pan.
 
Looking good man!!
Hopefully by the time I order mine (which is probably going to be about 1.5-2 years or so) I'll have a spare engine to mock everything up on.
Definitely keep posting the pics!!!
 
Columbus area.


Just because a turbo is bigger doesnt always mean it will spool slower.
 
By the time you are ready to do the install on your engine. It's gonna be a piece of cake! Wish I had a test fit engine.. :(

this is what the oil feed and oil filter relocation kit looks like. i need to call on3 and ask them where to mount the filter. the instructions are universal and dose'nt tell me where to mount it on a mustang

Wow that's ****ing awesome. Makes me want to do a turbo build now lol
 
Looks like a good bit less piping with the new forward facing headers
 
makes me wanna ditch my Pro Turbo Kit and go with this...WAY less piping....plus mine is starting to rust...
 
looks pretty bad ass, i do wonder how most every one gets away with the by pass being closer to the throttle body then to the turbo/ supercharger, i had my bpv in the same area as yours and it ran like **** at idle then i moved next the blower and the idle smoothed out quite abit...maybe because im using a mondo and it lets a **** ton air out at idle, who knows...

not sure,but i'll keep that in mind if i have any issues.
 
I want the on3 kit now. Poweraddersolutions has it for a great price. Hopefully I can boost my car this summer.
