QuestFan Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Make sure you have a six pack, some good friends, and lots of patience at your disposal. As for the TPS, ask Lee which one he uses. I could tell you but my car is four hours away. I got it from him. It is probably the most commonly found ford TPS sensor out there. It may take a little bit to get your intake in but it is all worth the wait in the end. Edited April 7, 2011 by YoungQuestFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobH Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 quick question for you guys what all in the engine bay can i get rid of now that i wont need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxboost87 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Take everything out and start by putting back one thing at a time, that the engine needs to run. You won't have much left by that time other than abs, power steering... ect. You need to have a wiring diagram for the car, that will tell you what things under the hood are for so you can figure out if you are going to need them or not. Why did you paint it? That thing was purrrdy Do you have any pictures of it before? Edited April 17, 2011 by maxboost87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopDawg_43 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 The DP was defiantly the fun part when I changed my header and turbo. Looks good though. Keep it up, it will be running for you sooner then later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
