Yea was nervous. Had a coolant system issue but was A stuck thermostat.

Now I just have a minor exhaust leak on the hotside where the vbands mate up on driver side. Going to see what I can do to rectify this without cutting and re welding.

The kit must have warped. I know that I didnt have this issue when it was on the old motor.

Finally got I car idling some what smooth. Once I get that squared away then start street tuning!

I am thinking about doing the swap myself, perhaps you could give me some pointers.

Try loosening the header bolts/ studs connect the v bands tight then tighten down the headers again. Might fix that issue

Awesome piece of work!

Update deleted the abs because pump took a ****. have the car idling at a steady 14.9-15.1 AFR try to get this tuning thing figured out it is driving my nuts.

wat happened with this

 

[mustang024]

wat happened with this

Got the car together. Tuning it myself and stumbling abit... have the gate on 4psi while tuning. Have fuel got to 4-5k rpm. This tuning thing is difficult with no guidance.

Then winter came it project stalled. This spring should have her good and then turn the boost up.
