no problem

I will agree with everyone who said get it out of the engine compartment. I would also like to add that the shorter the tubing between the filter and the turbo the less chance for air to pick up heat. As far as being in front of the intercooler, I don't see that as much of a problem, because for the most part, on the street, the intercooler is like a heat sink for the air passing through it, when you are off boost it will cool down again, and we just aren't on boost that long for the small amount of blockage that a filter causes to be a big issue. JMHO, but if someone has empirical evidence contrary to this, I would like to be enlightened.

What heads you gonna run Moby?

Much easier to polish off car - quicker too.

At 7 PSI probably 220-250 and around 300-325 @ 15 PSI

#1 is easy - boost is lower in lower gears because there isn't as much load. #2 I'm not sure of...

Had a brand new '75 Yamaha RD350 for 40 days and 4400 miles 'til a Lincoln Town car ran a light WAY LATE - off duty cop on a Kawasaki 400 said - no way to see him coming (popped over a hill), and thought I couldn't get out alive. No more bikes...

I would think that 18 psi w/stock turbo would be the limit - is not lower - the HEAT being created at that point is phenomenol. Do some searches - someone is in the 12's on the stock turbo - see what he maxes at. Anything less than 65% efficiency is asking for trouble. If you were tolimit your RPMs to ~4000 with 20 lbs boost you'd be okay, but above tay yo would reach TPODR. Heck, you would have to chabge injectors before you can max out the stock turbo (providig you have an intercooler). I run 10 and sometimes spike to 15 Psi with a T3/T4 S trim compessor and clipped turbine with stock injectors - no intercooler, no ping. If I want more out of it, I'll have to go MS or SDS and bigger injectors asnd an intercooler first - then change the turbo.

The lower the efficiency the greater the HEAT associated with the air being supplied. Looking at the maps will let you see and select the appropriate turbo compressor section for your needs by maximizing the efficiency opf the turbo in as many areas of operation (rpm/boost) as possible. I sent you to that page because I wanted to make sure you had a good foundation for the rest.

The Holley 780 #3310 is a vacuum secondary carb. What rear gears and trans will you be running? Based on your engine build you won't have a 3.7 or higher numerical rear gear... If you were going to use a manual trans then I MIGHT suggest a 700 DP'r...depending on cam specs.

I think I remember that MM has some brackets for the Mustang stuff...

FWIW - I would go with the MM type calipers myself because they have production street type seals on them...I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this...

You're a braver man tha I Gunga Din - I don' intend to have my suspension on the car when I put it on the rotisserie I built - but then I have ti replace floor pans and will be putting in subchassis connectors too...

What RPM's were you leaving the line at? I'm not a fan of the stock ECU and am planning to go MSII or UMS in the future with biggeer injectors in order ot hit 6K rpm reliably.

It's a R200 VLSD if it's from an early Q...

I heard that someone used a B&M Megashifter designed to fit in the Camaro/Firebird console and it was practically drop-in... That is what I'll use.

R200

Excellent!

The speedo cable is a 2 piece - from tranny to inside firewall, from there to speedo. Ypu probably have a bad connection. The only help for reading over 85 would be the right angle adapter JTR sells for the T5 that has a .66:1 reduction ratio. Set the dash to read kph and you'll be close - you could tweak tire diameters a little.... I just put in analog guages (speedo went balls up- odo kept working) set in mine and got rid of the auto climate stuff too (while the dash was out...)

Slightly wider front to rear (in car), you would have to cut out the spare tire well and weld in a replacement panel. It fits all the way over in the ZXT and there is only JUST enough room for a full size oval muffler- why do you think it would be centered?

John Kerry visits a primary school and sits in on one of the classes, which is in the middle of a discussion on words and their meaning. The teacher asks Mr. Kerry if he would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy." So, the illustrious senator asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy." "That's wrong," Kerry shouts. "That would be considered an accident." A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." "You are completely incorrect," shouts the senator. "That would be what we would consider a great loss." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Kerry searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally, at the back of the room, a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice, he says, "If a plane carrying the Senator John Kerry were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaims Kerry. "You are absolutely right. Can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says the boy, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident!"

You'll need the Chevy T5 and clutch.

You could cut out part of the radiator support and headlight support like the HKS setup does...
