Enjoy! We made a quick video for you before we started the new custom header build. I will take pics of the progress throughout. The video is inside the shop we get more this spring outside once it warms up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJUdaxEdmMQ&feature=youtu.be

Hey everyone we are building a new turbo set up, a little more efficient one hopefully. Going to custom build some new headers out of stainless steel. Going to move the turbo up higher above the engine (and put a bigger turbo on right of way, naturally) it will make it more visible under the hood also for a better look. Also give me acces to my spark plugs if need be. My old header flanges were starting to wear out from the weight of the turbo. We will support the turbo completely from the engine now and just run the headers to it. So all they will have to support is themselves. Here are some pics of the early going on the headers.

Well plans changed again. We ended up with a second turbo from a 06 Cummins. We are going to put both of those on instead of one big one. Should spool faster and will move more air together than the single turbo we were looking at. Chris is custom building the headers then we will have them ceramic coated. The wastegates will go forward and down. Plus this build will add a little bling bling to the project. Here are some pics of the first turbo manifold.

We will let the boys ar Probe now what they can rate their pistons at for horsepower. We are actually using some probe pistons in a 4.6l Mustang build.

Here are a few more pics. We have one runner on the right side done. Love how the turbos just peek out over the radiator support. We didn't notice until now that the turbos just happen to say Holset 1 and Holset 2, not sure why but it was like it was meant to be! Right hand turbo.

WoW! Now all you have to do is to turn that #2 compressor side 180 degrees to get even more symmetrical look and get that center section pointing downwards to drain the oil back to oil pan . Also, as those turbos have that flange on the compressors, that gives an opportunity to add brackets to hold them up better. Just fab brackets from the timing cover etc...

Got both manifolds done and ready to send off to Jet Hot for ceramic coating. We will have hot sides of the turbo coated and the cold side they will powder coat in Ford blue. Everything is going to look really nice. Here a couple of pics of the manifolds. Chris did a great job and they are very symmetrical.
