Ok so I made the decision to go back to turbo. LOL I plan on doing a custom setup. I think
a custom setup is the best way for me to learn plus way cheaper then buying Toms kit LOL.
I got a buddy who is fairly experienced in this area and he is helping me make a list of the items I need. He said I should ask some of the guys here what there list of parts includes or what parts they would go. Then do some mixing and matching of his list and others.
As for what I am after. I plan on doing a non intercool system to start off with. Nothing to serious. I would like to be pushing out 6psi just for starts. This will be my first turbo system so I dont want to go to big yet but I would like to make sure the parts I do get allow me to upgrade the turbo in the future as i gain more experience..
Now I can prolly go read and read and search but seriously Im getting tired of reading. I am the person that learns by getting the parts and just doing it LOL.
Awsome. Thanks man. Im going to shwo that to my buddy. Im sure he will understand it way better them me since Im still learning.
What is your plan for fuel management and ecu?
Keep them coming :)
you can save money, and time by picking up a mustang GT MAF from the scrap yard (or even new from a dealership, it's cheaper than pro-M)... especially if you're going with the SCT software.
the maf'd avenger
Sweet. I was planning to go with the SCT chip from Steeda and thanks for the info Steve. Im going to look into that MAF. I was just figuing the ProM would be cool but if I can get the Mustang one way cheaper then why not lol

that, and if Steeda's burning you the chip, you definitely want a mustang GT maf instead.... there's lots of variances in the pro-m MAFs that will require tweeking of the tune (hence my purchase of wideband O2 and datalogging software).
Not focus stuff but hey I want to play too.

But blah.. I dont think im going to turbo this summer anymore. I want to go standalone now, and spent too much money on trip and doh. If i turbo i cant do suspension, and turbo car + 3/4foot wheel well gap + tons of body roll = gay.
Bering: what maf do you need .. i have a few mustang ones in my garage.
Really?! Well i didn't think there was a point in asking on here but I'm looking for a 01+ GT maf .. they are pretty rare.. scrap yards here dont even have mustangs that new..
99-00 would probably be fine too but i was looking for newer one caus the adapter is the same.. if you can find one man.. seriously, ill lick the peanuts in your sh*t
only thing im missing
I "borrowed" ... alot of mafs when i worked at the scrap yard....
Send me a part number and ill go check .. since there all over the place and i dont remember which ones which anymore.
Dan.
Oh.. ok ill look that up right away.. thanks man..
Ok Edit:
Lightning 99-00: 80mm XL3Z-12B579-AARM
Cobra/Lightning 01+: 90mm 1L3Z-12B579-AA
Can'T find normal GT maf part number..
Let me know which ones you got.. with -12B579- in the middle.. tell me the first numbers and i will look them up.. Thanks alot man, i really really appreciate it!
I definitely don't recommend the 2002 lightning/cobra, but if you want, I have one here, that's been modified to fit a cone filter. offer me a good price, and we can chat.

yeah im trying NOT to get a lightning or cobra maf but it seems those all the only ones EVERYONE has.. hehe
you know the part nubmer for GT?
EDIT: 2002 GT is 1L2Z-12B579-AAA
dark: you know if the 01+GT mafs are 6 wire? how bout 99-00?
wish I did... but I buckled and went with Pro-M (and why I'm buying all this other crap to make it work)...
[edit] I see you asked in the parts forum on modular depot. They may need you to clarify what you're asking for.. I've gotten part numbers off of them in the past. [/edit
Hmm that ebay one is interesting but I feal sketchy about buying off ebay ever again. Specialy when it comes to turbo parts..
