Well we got the motor in last night and running, after a few bug taking out this morning she was running fine EXCEPT, when i would give it some boost action I hear it ping for a second then die out, like it wasn’t getting enough air, so do all the checking stuff, used some carb cleaner to check for vacuum leaks, still nothing, well i can hear this fan noise, so i wasnt happy, took the front elbow off the turbo and sure enough it was stuck up against the housing, grr, makes me mad.
I guess i either have to find a new turbo or get a new car, a new car sound nice right now butt, the engine runs so smooth, just it doesn’t move now, cuz the turbo it so shot it cutting off the air to the intake, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Mother f**k;'n, piece of mother f**k'n s**t, i hate fords

Brian, Why don't you just come and pick up this turbo I have sitting here, I don't need the cash right now, pay me when you can afford it, but it will at least get your car going again.

OK, Thanks Kevin ill talk to you about it off line.
But unfortunitly my friend showed me a couple of Mustangs today for sale in woodbury, and one i kinda like, it is a 96 GT green , lowered, clear corners, flowmasters, etc, it all stock engine wise, an automatic tho, im thinking of selling everything TC and go back to my roots in my family , the V8.

I love the TC but there are times you must let soemthing you love go, and it sounds liek a deal, but agian it is still a thought.
Also went own to the track tonight and woudl loved to have killed a couple imports, grr, o well i figure out soemthign soon.
To TC or Not To TC that is The Question
But what is the answer?
