I also have the standard intercooler and piping also standard dump pipe any help on this would be appreciated as I’m thinking of doing it this weekend just want to know what I need if anything My mate just had a engine built and a turbo 400 in his fg so I brought his old set up which is stock Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97031-converting-my-na-to-complete-turbo-engine-and-transmission/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance of you getting it done in a weekend is about zero 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97031-converting-my-na-to-complete-turbo-engine-and-transmission/#findComment-1719668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not needed to get it runningSome of the other threads or others who have done this before will know the answers to some of this. As Keith said, definitely plan for more than a weekend.
