My DIY turbo kit, for those who may wanna try.

Recommended Posts

Well an update, finally lol... Decided in between rust repair, tuning, etc.. That is finish the exhaust fab work.. I went to autozone and grabbed some 2.5 to 3" header collector reducers..

The reason were using these are for the flanges and gaskets only..

This will mate the downpipe to the exhaust..

Once it's all test fitted, tack weld it all into place, remove the exhaust, and final weld it all..

Tacked up..

Good im ready ti see it. I was gunna build my own for my 5.0 but a new investment fell in my lap. But ill still have a turbo car (2.3 turbo) with about 350-400 hp in a merkur. So once my hci is done on my 5.0 it will stay like that for a while. Good to see you are almost done and cant wait to see the final with numbers!!!!! Great job bro man!!

Ty sir!, it would be making alot more progress, but in spending daddy dagger time lol, my 2 year old on her birthday collapsed with a seizure, and since then I'm making as much extra time as possible for my princess!!

Right before she had it, on Saturday..

I finished the kit, then sold it to pay for vacation lol.. But the person who bought it will be sending me installed pictures, as well as dyno and track video, he just finished the exhaust yesterday actually lol.. So I'll be updating the thread as soon as I get that end of it, with final install and numbers :)
