Very cool build, I'll definitely watch to the end.
Nothing new to report...took a small vacation from work and went to Denver for a few days this past weekend.
I need to call about the turbo because its been over a week since I ordered it and I haven't even been charged!!
I haven't gotten the passenger side header on yet. I've worked on it enough so that all I need to do is support the motor and take out the k member bolts and down the k goes. But I've just been a sissy about doing it by myself because it is much easier with a second set of hands.
Actually there is news to report...the piping just came in! So now just the turbo is holding me up from starting!!

well hello there passenger side...VERY TIGHT FIT...will have to grind a little bit off the a/c condenser so its not riding on it and the brake lines will need to be wrapped like crazy...but overall pretty impressed that it fit. I was skeptical we could get a forward facing header through the gap and keep ac...
So can I even grind a little bit off of the A/c condenser? It contacts the block that the inlet and outlet lines are attached to. So I don't know how much of that block is solid and how much is hollow but I would assume I would be safe to grind a little off at point of contact

grind that shit. Thats what turbo builds are all about. Trust me.
True statement.
I love the build and the sentiment. Eh, buy a house or go turbo? Clearly stay at Mom's, install turbo, make sleeper that hurts butts. I love it!
lol thanks
Gotta keep the boost at bay...
I'm trying to get my buddy to come over so we can start but its so damn cold out right now I can't seem to get him over to my house!! lol non-heated garage problems.

Props for doing all this to a pretty stock appearing GT. Coyote swapped new edge on Saleen wheels going turbo....This is literally SVTP gold
:banana: ;-)
Is this a stock compression coyote motor? What is the max boost and timing you'll be able to run [safely] on a motor that's 11:1 CR?
