Not Yet, I still have to come up with a PVC system that works with the boost, Right now I can't stay in the boost long because of the factory PVC system. I had back surgery 3 months ago and i'm still recovering. I read somewhere where a guy had a 2wd EX and it made right at 250 RWHP stock. I forget the torque it put down. Hopfully before winter I will get it done.

That's some sick ***** right there!! I freaking love it!
It's too bad your wife wants you to get rid of the setup. It would be nice to follow your build as you work out the bugs and kinks in the system.
Cutting and welding together a set of L headers is a novel idea. They can be easily found too because a lot of us L owners have upgraded to long tubes.
Reminds me of a few years back when the first turbo systems were being fabricated for the L's. Lotta bugs to get worked out.

Stewart, It was Lightning intake manifolds I was cutting in half. The V10 is the same engine as the 5.4 just add 2 more cylinders. So what I am doing with the intakes is cut the back 2 cylinders out of one and the front 2 out of the other. Put them together and you will have a lightning intake with 5 ports on each side. That will bolt right down to the V10 heads. Then the rest is fabricated from there.

I used to use the Predator to download tunes into my L, but when I switched tuners (human tuner), he didn't use Diablosport programming, so I had to switch to the Xcal II.
I dunno if you have to have over 25 posts in order to have a signature, like you do to use PM's, but maybe you do.
Once you hit 25, look in your User CP and see if the sig button in the left toolbar shows up.
