[QUOTE="04yfzkid, post: 14480593, member: 108463"] Found the problem with the throttle body. I'll be honest I don't know too much about these cars so this I never would have guessed. The guy we got the turbo kit off of gave us the TB with the kit. Turns out they have two massive holes for air to bypass. Borrowed a TB off a buddies bullitt and it wouldn't even idle (good thing). Ordered an Accufab for the the mach 1 intake. If it's like the TB I tried, I'll either have to adjust the throttle stop or go into the SCT and adjust the commanded idle (forgot what we left it at on the dyno). This is the 03-04 cobra TB I have. You can see the holes near the top of the picture [ATTACH=full]607460[/ATTACH] This is the buillit TB that has no holes [ATTACH=full]607461[/ATTACH] Picture of the crammed engine bay. You can see my FPR on the passenger shock tower. You can also see how the intake tube pinched it. I've got the intake tube rotated up so it wont hit now, but I will be moving the FPR down as well as painting the cold side pipes, replacing the TB coupler, TB, and temp painting the hot side. [ATTACH=full]607462[/ATTACH] Also love the look of the black I/C. [ATTACH=full]607463[/ATTACH] Think the water leak fixed itself. If that's true it just buys me a little time until I can replace the water pump. Have an oil leak that developed quickly. It seems to be the pan gasket up front and at the back.
