let me introduce myself

mine is a 98 expedition so i have the cable throttle body
i was gonna get my pi heads/intake from a stang gt
but my research has me leaning toward heads/intake from a navigator
i was gonna go with the same headers you have but i'm gonna start with flipping my manifolds backwards and installing a low buck turbo
basically i'm gonna build a ford thunder
you know i'm going to name it Blue Thunder
i intro'ed myself in the welcome wagon thread
check it out

ok so i 'm posting on multiple you might see me elsewhere

i'm still in the research phase on my truck
so i run across a twin turbo install on a Mach 1 mustang
dude is putting on a Hellion twin turbo kit that mounts under the the car
that got me to thinking,but 1st he are the vids

so after watching the series of vids
i look under my truck and to see if i can do this and yeah i can
i can mount turbos right after the manifolds
but before i describe my new hypothetical set-up
let me explain my old thoughts on turbo set up
i was gonna flip my manifolds around and put either a one or twin in the front engine bay
to do this you have to find a spot to mound turbo/turbos and then move relocate stuff to put them there
on a single turbo build you have to feed the exhaust into one turbo which means moving more stuff and installing a crossover pipe
the same applies to a twin turbo build except that a crossover is not needed
next you have to have a downpipe for the turbo/turbo exhaust
here is a series of vids where a guy puts a cxracing mustang turbo kit on a F150

on my 1998 ford 2v 4.6l expedition the is not much room in the engine bay and routing downpipes from the front would be doable
but a nightmare
so the turbo/turbos mounted right after the manifold/headers(i found a cheap pair of equal tube length headers at maxpeeding)
here's a link for that

summit racing and jeg's also have similar headers at around $200
i'll get some good ones later but i'll start with the cheap stuff first

anyway back to the design
if i mount turbos under the truck i can route all of my hotside there
very little modification is needed
all i have to do then is route my coldside up to the front and route lubrication to the turbos(I'll use a pump and a cooler for the oil system)

on a side note does anyone have experience with a water to air intercooler for the cold side?
