Working in a garage in the cold isnt exactly what I'm use to, but its the only way we can get "meets" together.. Can't really be busting out beers at my work and doing burnouts, but it worked out ok.

The Turbo 60/63 Mustang SVO T3. One of the largest factory turbos you can find on a mass produced car. It was very clean. Oil and Water Cooled.

Mike G doing a fine job of cutting out the bumper, we wanted to keep the front grill in tact, so it was a bit tricky, but using a airhack-saw it really makes things pretty easy..

Shortly after the power went out and we just started drinking and made a fire.

More brake cleaner was used in the fireplace than it was on the car.

Power came on about a hour later and we went back to work.

All Done, it turned out pretty good. It took longer to tune it than anything, when Mike and Dave were out street tuning the shifter stabalizer bar/bushing that holds the shifter in place came out for some reason and dave had to hold it up for 15 mins on the drive back hah. Then we just had some minor problems with the ecu (that was already socketed) dave assumed it was ready to go, but it still needed some work. We put the boost controller on it and turned it up to around 10psi for now. Still running a stock fuel pump.

Overall yesterday went pretty good, alot better than I expected.

Thanks to..
