Here's an idea I had while I was out for my Sunday drive today. I think it was mr_woodster who started a thread about Ford putting 2.3's in their Aerostar's. He said that with some modifications you could run true dual exhaust using a 2.3 Aerostar exhaust header. Now, here's my idea/question/conversation starter. Would it be possible to put on an Aerostar header, run true dual exhaust and twin turbo a 2.3 Mustang? Now, with that you could be looking at some serious power and one hell of an entertaining project.

it'd be kinda pointless. Theres a reason that people who own twin turbos swap to SINGLE setups mate

there is?

it would be hard to pull off a twin turbo setup on a 2.3 (non-stroked/bored), the exhuast energy just isnt there. A single good turbo is more than enough to produce some pretty respectable power! But id still like to see a turbo Aerostar!

And yes, there are twin to single swaps. That is a popular mod on Supras.
