Hello all decided to start my new build thread here I am currently TT my 2012 auto 3.7
current mods
kyb struts and shocks on pro touring springs 1.6"drop
custom cat-back exhaust
New engine 20k miles RIP First motor
3.73 gears(not installed looking to trade for 3.55's
MPT 93r-100 tune
Nitrous 125shot
CAI
wire tuck
So i have planned this out for about a year and finally pulled the trigger last month. I started by first getting me a set of turbos i lucked out and got a good set for 300$ shipped couldn't pass that up
I then grabbed a new set of manifolds from ford "shout out to white bear lake ford gave me some great prices order through the website its cheaper 37$ a pop great price
This is not my first turbo car so i was able to get almost everything i needed off ebay and local parts stores besides the adapter kit sold via supersixmotorsports their is a way to make brackets to fit the manifolds but my wielding sucks so i have to wait 3 weeks for the kit.
besides that i grabbed 65lb injectors for 325$ same ones sold by mpt only their cheaper on ebay for some reason
wideband 02 aem 185$
boost/oil/temp gauges and pod 140
reusing my old bov
intercooler is a toss up depending on your taste just went with what i knew would fit i.e i totally ripped off the hellion intercooler setup :):dance:
downpipe for now will reuse stock exhaust my goal is 450hp daily driver i will post pics as parts arrive and ask you guys lots of questions along the way a tune is gonna cost me around 700 i figure but i currently only need intercooler pipes and adapter plates to put everything on.

Right. Like i said though, boost and HP are not the same thing. These are very tiny turbos, and 8 psi out of them is not going to be very meaningful, whereas a procharger is a much larger compressor and flows much more air at 8 psi than these would.

Basically, my only point is that i dont think he needs to go hacking up these turbos to try to change the wastegate springs. I mean look at what they do in stock form on other applications... they're not even 450 at the crank, let alone the wheels.
