They just blow up.

[Andy]

i have a supercharged 5.0., not the question u asked i know but somewhat relevant.

[c0z]

Throw a turbo on, hit 500hp, and then you'll have 2 2.5s!

2.5>5.0

[Andy]

So what kind of questions do u have related to 5.0s and turbos?

[91fox]

well, #1 I have questions about the oil lines,from what I understand so far you use put a t fitting where the oil pressure guage fitting is to feed oil to the turbo and you still know what your pressure is- and the return line you have to make a new hole in the oil pan, but exactly where and what is the best way since you cant get the pan off without pulling the motor, i know somepeople say to just tap the hole and put a magnet on the pan but that dosent sound to great to me

#2 about fuel management or tuning ... from what i understand on this so far people are just putting bigger injectors, fuel pump and maf and running it like that? I dont completely undstand how the car can run fine like that without a new tune


Well thats my main questions for now, im sure i will be told to go read on turboforums or something like that but i was just hoping there was someone local i could talk to

Thanks James

Well i have no idea about oil lines and #1. As far as your second question You DO need to have you car tuned if you are running a different MAF sensor and injector combo. Dynosport or The Shop FTMFW will help you out with a tune around here.

[Andy]

Oh and if you are really getting into the idea of a turbo stang then :

is the place to look around if you already haven't been.

or talk to the guy who had a turbo 5slow on this site.

Tapping yur return fitting is no biggy,they make a special tap for it that dumps the metal shavings out behind it as u go...use that and some lithium grease and it'll keep metal outta yur pan. I ran a magnetic plug just in case.

As far as tuning,ugh..ya...you can try a blowthru MAF...I did and it worked like **** because it was so sensitive to turbulence,which is absolutely retarded. I think if u did a draw-thru MAF,it may work alot better...I dunno...i was gonna but was talked out of it in favor of the blo-thru I ran a megasquirt and had no problems. Just don't get greedy w/yur timing while running 91' octane,it makes short-work of cast iron.
I wouldn't bother if your planning on running a stock block,cause' there dead in the water above 550whp.
BUT...if you can get most of your bugs worked out,stay safe on A/F...you'll be amazed cause it'll walk away from low 12 sec. cars while on 7 cyl's,a blown headgasket and 8 psi.:lost:

Why just Chad, Pat's got the boosted mustang. But yeah they both know their ****!
