well make a long story short, the 2.5 had a lite tap and my spec stage 1 failed. this is how it started
engine was taping for a while after i cornered hard.... knew it was gonna die so i bout a 03 3L. bought headers, spec 3 (before mine failed) 70mm mustang TB, lot of goodies, then i decided to turbo along with the 3L swap
pulled the motor, powder coated the sub frame, uim, valve covers, painted the motor mounts and brake booster... pretty much the engine will look amazing ;)

its the aeromotive ford fuel pressure regulator part # 13102 can be had from summit racing.


as for the 3L will be tuned with no wastegate spring to ensure proper running before the boost is added.
i may not have very many posts but im up to par on a lot of things, thanks tho for the suggestion brapple :)
ive got no worries about having any issues with it so imo it would be fine with doing it all together like my tuner wanted to do but to be on the safe side i told him no wastegate spring so no boost will build
 











ill update some of these pics being that i added a flex pipe on my up pipe between the front and rear bank
th painted pics are before i even touched it after it dried for 3 days...
most is all tig welded too
 
ah yes i was wondering where this build went; i remember seeing a few post showing the pics of the hot pipe routing some time ago. Want to make me some?! :laugh: . looking good!
 
yeah it was lost i guess when the site was redone im guessing.... i could build you a set like mine since i could make a jig... depends how much you wanna spend since the MSDS headers will be needed to do so... PM me if your serious.

are you making your own hot pipes or using a kit? with the NPG kit your not going to be able to remove the wastegate with the pipe installed to add the spring. or at least not very easily at all.
