EDIT: Turbo Project Resurrected

[farmtruc]

It's like a drug. I remember how excited I was when I got my first exhaust system put on the truck, lol.

I'm sure it's ruined a few marriages and caused quite a few break ups before too, lol.

Seriously though, he's what's gonna happen.

After a lot of extra parts you'll need to get your truck running, something will leak or break. You'll go through a few sets of spark plugs.
Then a few wires will burn, so you might as well buy good ones with heat wraps.
Then something else will break, you'll fix it if it's external. If it's the engine, you'll decide to do a forged one, then more frustration and about another $6K.
After that, The turbo won't be big enough, injectors too small, fuel pressure too low, fuel rails too restrictive, hahaha, having fun yet?
Or, you might think the cam isn't right, so it's time to change that, "oh damn, i have to pull the turbo to install the cam!"
About the time you get it running strong, that weak ass 60e will break, hopefully it doesn't damage too much when it happens.
Time to buy slicks and lighter rims.
Another trans just too a sh!t.

It's an endless cycle, so just prepare yourself and have lots of patience.

Hopefully none of this happens to you , lol, but I see it quite a bit, so more than one of these are probably going to bite you in the ass, it got me, haha.

80mm is not big enough? Maybe too big for little Mozey...being this is his first turbo and all...

Moze, make sure to get 60 lb. injectors and maybe we could put on an adjustable aftermarket FPR on there so we can guarantee that the fuel will be there to match the new amounts of forced air...

SO TRUE.......... This is my story, lol... all except the trans, but Im sure that will change with the GTK850....... I have my eye on a new Lenco anyway....

Tyler...the guy sent me the 60# Ford Injectors - should have them early next week...not real familiar with the use of them, but whatever. Thought about buying the ones Billy recommended off of eBay and selling the ones he's sending.

Enjoy the addiction, buy a few parts. Don't expect too much and don't live on the edge. Go easy on the parts and tune conservatively. Play when you must and cruise when you can. Live life one quarter mile at a time.
