Default RE: critque my build ideas PLZ!!

he might not know the diff of the header/manifold concept...anyhow basically it can all be done for way less then 6000 dollars and if built right is a very potent combo. Not everything said in here can be taken in as well as you would could hope for the project to come out. If you a first timer to the whole tuning concept then it would be a very good Idea to read good/excellent sources for the information until you feal comfortable with it. Paying someone to do all the work would most definately/infinately easier but cash in your pocket is a lot better then none. A lot of thought goes into DIY TURBO S/U like predrilling oil pans, radiator, a good oil cooler, Map clamp, boost controller, turbo timer, vaccum lines, and so-on. The more info/knowledge you have the better of you are then most ppl who start and cant finish b/c they didnt realize they needed more to get it running the way it should.

W/ all that said I could use a clamp for the MOPAR PCM couldnt I RADAR??? Im getting the Megasquirt anyways but I was just curious...cuz I thought it would work moderately w/ the turbo s/u...

Might not be a bad idea to custom fab some structural supports, especially if your looking for handling. A good coilover kit is a great start, but I've noticed a good bit of chassis flex as well. The strut tower mounts arent a bad idea, but they leave alot of room for improvement. A crossbar between the rear coil towers from top to bottom (an X design or similar) would be more beneficial. Lower "frame" crossmembers (popular in older mustangs) would help as well; beefing up and tieing together the two 1x1" rails under the body pan.
