Ok it has been awhile since I have posted but here is the way the car sits now.

I had the car up for sale but decided to keep it and continue on with the mustang madness lol.

I came across an ON3 kit and accessories that someone had put together for $1500

All that was included with this purchase:

Brand new ON3 70mm kit (still in the bubble wrap)
Aem wideband
Aem boost controller
SOS pod
39lb injectors
HTO plugs

I purchases a 340lph fuel pump, wire upgrade kit, and pcv breathers from Jeremy! Thank you again!!

Ok now for the pics

My car had been running really rich...betting this had something to do with it. Something had chewed through the wires.

I have a little gap in pictures. I pulled the long tubes, put the stock manifolds on and tapped the oil pan. Bolted the motor back down and now ready for some hot side piping.

Well I have a gap in pics...managed to destroy my phone that had these steps on it... Pulled the longtubes out, put the stock manifolds back on (depressing), bolted the motor back down, and tapped the oil pan.

Now time for some hot side piping

what oil are you turbo guys running?

Also would it be ok to leave the MAF unplugged and start the car up before I put the fuel upgrades in...Let it idol and heat up to check for leaks

I still dont know how to imbed youtube videos lol... havnt extended the power steering lines is why the resevoir is just hanging there...still have to extend the maf, install fuel pump, plugs and injectors, gauges and run vacum lines...

Does anyone have a good link on how to run the lines with a boost controller?
