Ya im trying to make new again but i have a long way to go. I havent done the fire wall bending yet. Im asked my dad to bring his home from work when i get ready to put it in. So that part should be easier. Doesnt the tin nut being gone cause longer cranking befor starting? That would explain that then.

Yes, longer cranking for sure. I got tired of my tin nut falling off so I put it back on then put a little goop on it. It has stayed there for a long time now. Stupid design, Ford probably made a lot of money on that nut!

You're doing the same turbo set up as Gabe, right Glenn?

ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rest of the kit came today!!!!!!!! Time to get to work this weekend. As soon as I get the turbo in I can put the trans and t case back in. Then all I would have to do is mount my intercooler and install e fuel which I am ordering today.

You won't need to modify the firewall to fit the turbo, but you will have to modify to fit the downpipe. You may have to modify the firewall and probably the downpipe too. Whatever you have to modify, let us know. It wouldn't be a bad idea to PM Jason either to see what exactly he had to do to fit his. He has the same kit as you do. Anyone remember his username off the top of your head?
