My current HP goal is set to just take the engine to the safest max which is normally 8psi for zetec.. Later when i redo the internals in the engine (hopefully brand new engine) i will be looking for a lot more power.[wiggle]

lemme know what you think! thanks!

Wideband

ditch the denso iridium plugs & just ge the motorcraft copper core SP 463's. cheaper, work better, and are not as fragile as the denso's. just my opinion[thumb]

Injectors 50 or 60s
you dont need J&S
14psi or less you dont need Boost a pump but the tune will tell

*updated list with turbo timer and total with tax*

Turbo times is a total waste of time and money as well as your plugs just use the sp-463 motorcrafts

Tom

I know the turbo timer isn't required but i want it. I don't feel like sitting inside my car for a while for the turbo to cool off, and i road with a fellow FF member who had one, and saw that it was really nice to turn off the turbo car, and let it cool down while your already on your way to the store walking.

as for the plugs those are the ones i am going to go with (motorcrafts) i just didnt get to update that part of the list lol

they are pointless. not just not required. it is a waiste of money otherwise all factory turbo cars would come with them.

Well i have heard that it prolongs the life of the turbo, because it lets the turbo cool down before turning it off, then all the heat goes to the center of the turbo and can cause oil boil. correct me if i am wrong lol

Who ever told you that doesnt know what there talking about , Back when the older bearings and materials yes maybe

All you need to do is 10 to 15 sec , it takes me that long to unplug my sell , grab my crap and open the door , I then switch the engine off and my SVO had over 100,000 miles with the same turbo and my SVT has been turbocharged sence 2002 with same turbo and anyone will tell you I beat it hard

Save the cash for something needed for safety or performance

thanks tom, will be removing the turbo timer then [thumb]

Besides with the GT28rs its oil AND water cooled.... once you turn the motor off coolant will still flow through the turbo housing for a very long time.

oh yeah, btw how would i go about hooking up water to cool it? im not sure i have any water to cool it with lmao.

I spliced into one of the lines that goes from the "plastic log" that runs across the radiator support to the T stat housing.
