On top of this you would have to set aside the same amount for intercooler, bigger cai, wastegate etc... You would also have to take into consideration installation and plan for unexpected issues the guzzle money to fix.Goodluck for the project and I hope it all goes well.

Whack some fully sic stickers on it, maybe even a GT bonnet and you can go chase down the VL boys.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59441-na-to-turbo/#findComment-904522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
