I don't know I do not have the car back yet. I made 527/446 tq @ 32 psi mustang dyno on a stock block. I will run the ef4 till I have enough to get the manifold and the turbo.

Well I would like to think it will be when it is all said and done. I wanted to go different rods but didn't happen but thats ok. I would like to think it will stand the test of time being all the extra stuff I added to help with longevity

As it sits right now pump gas made 439/418 @22 psi with 0 timing in the car. This is for winter when there is snow and ice etc. I was told that the car will not boost past 27 psi on e85, for whatever reason the wastegate is closed to 25 psi which is what map gave me for wga. So I am thinking my 3 port took a ****. Anyways #'s so far on E85 are 495/456 @27 psi. He is going to swap out the 3 port with a 4 port that he has at the shop and see what it does so I will update again tomorrow.

Well come to find out my 3 port works just fine and it is actually the wg spring going bad. Ordered a new Turbosmart wastegate with a 22 lb spring and were going to try again tomorrow. I am pretty sure this will fix the problem being I had a 26 lb spring and without any changes only make 19 lbs so spring is tired.

Well without further due I will say that I am a little disappointed. Not with the build, not with the shop, but the numbers. Turns out same as yesterday, they put in the new turbosmart wg, 22 psi spring being that is what I am running pump gas boost, and there is way to much back pressure and the wastegate is blowing open up top. So with that said final #'s are 525/500 on e67 or winter blend, and boosting to 30.8 lbs tapering down to 27ish being the wastegate is being blown open being it isn't holding up top.. Here is what it looks like on the dyno. Sorry about the poor pic quality. Yes I know dyno graph doesn't say quite 500ft lbs of tq but I was assured it made it, it is one of the pics of the runs he took before final #'s were sent.

First impressions of driving the car home. Well it is way louder on the inside then what it was with the stock 2 liter. I forgot how bad solid mounts suck, everything vibrates, car feels good when getting on it though, outside the car isn't to loud but it is way louder inside. I don't know if my exhaust didn't clamp all the way or what but I didn't figure high compression would make that much of a difference. I will have to work out some bugs in my cruise though, car wants to go down into the 12 afr during cruise so maybe he missed a spot or something. Simple fix not a big deal. So next up start putting away for the next part of the setup.
