kind of funny how a couple of people basically called your project stupid when u posted the original picture. its come a long way since then. nothing wrong with taking your time and peicing everything together little by little. some people have the money to spend all at once and some dont. i would fall under the dont category. took me a year almost to get my wheels squared away. bought first two with tires. then just kept looking and bought a tire kept lookin and bought another tire, kept looking and bought the other two rims. only spent about 250 dollars total. just took a lot of time.

awesome man, amazing to see it all come together. Maybe it has been answered else where but why not go with the split port swap as well?

10psi on a single port is gonna make around 260-270rwhp I would guess.


Who is gonna tune it when its done?

The single port has got a better power curve then the split port...

The only v6 mustang that is running deep into the 9s right now is a single port, single turbo. (Pre 05)
