Chris handles wiring on the HP-provided Walbro, high-pressure 255-lph fuel pump and drops it into the tank. Once this is done, the fuel tank can be reinstalled.
We've covered the position logistics and reason for punching the hole in the oil pan ad nauseam. Oil supply for the turbo is taken from a fitting ported into the 5.0's oil-sender's log and returned via an oil drainback into the pan in many Mustang forced-induction applications. This photo details the importance of coating your 11/42-inch tap with heavy grease before threading the pan. The grease will catch most of the metal shavings and prevent potential damage to the engine. As an additional safety measure, we suggest you drain the pan and change the oil before calling your turbo installation complete.
This front-mount intercooler measures 311/42 inches thick by 27 inches long by 10 inches tall. It will chill things down to a point where it easily supports 1,000 hp.
The 'cooler mounts up front, between the bumper and the A/C condenser. HP set up this piece for easy installation in a position where it will receive the consistent airflow through openings in the GT's bumper cover.
A coating of Permatex Ultra Copper is the preferred method of sealing turbo headers. Gaskets are prone to burning out due to the high temperatures and pressures created by the turbocharger's exhaust side.
Since Ricardo's 'Stang will now be free of pollution controls, the air-injection tube is removed and cut. Each end is then flipped over and coated with Ultra Copper before being bolted down and used as block-off plates at the back of each cylinder head.
