So after a little break ive come back, had issues with the STI i bought and the Dealer...which is finally getting resolved.

Anyways the mustang is back together and its not running so well....dart 347 w/ a HP stage 1 turbo kit. Had to replace the rockers, which turned into valvecovers which turned to an intake spacer. nice huh???

The car tends to load up and blows lots of black smoke when reved and i actually fouled the plugs..so not burning the fuel?
I cant rev it up quickly and when driving its hard to gain speed as it feels like its bogging out sorta...

any ideas guys?? thanks

it could be that there is to much oil pressure going to the turbo, and its pushing oil past the seals.

also the oil pressure being to high will cause the turbo to act sluggish.

just my guess

Do you have a ignition box? You might need to switch to a different gap plug.

Xactly. Hope you have an ignition box. Sounds like a KILLER car man.

Yeah i have the crane box, bought it used so i'm not sure if its functioning properly, what color should the LED be?
I had it running w/o the box hooked up and made 429hp and 506tq after a a couple easy runs on the dyno.

What plugs would be recommended?? im using autolite 4923's
