    Time for a new Radiator...

    as said before, you can't have a too big radiator, the thermostat is what controls temp... Go get yourself a stock replacement "Stant" 195 degree thermostat and gasket

    Why remove the Air Silencer?

    muahaha.... My 96 2.3 5-SPEED ranger, which has the EXACT same motor as the mustangs, has WELL OVER 275,000 Miles now, on the STOCK MOTOR, STOCK TRANNY, and 3 clutches !!!!

    useful gauges for a 2.3t

    Well I will be running flowed injectors, plenty of fuel pressure, and I'm hoping it will be fine, I just want to be able to see, especially at WOT if I all of a sudden go very lean.... Something could happen, plus it should make the interior look cool at night. =)

    Rebuild or replace 2.3 T?

    You put the turbo on the n/a engine or is this an actual turbomotor, in any case, I'd check the PCV Valve

    useful gauges for a 2.3t

    I thought that since everything always gets power, and you tap the signal wire from the O2 sensor itself that it should always readout... I thought the sensor always gives out a signal which I would pick up on the a/f guage, but the computer just ignores it at WOT
