Will you guys post pics of your engine bays? I would like to see what a 4cyl. stang looks like with I/C piping and other goodies under the hood. I would post pics of my engine bay but it's a 5.0 and it's all stock(for now).

I'd post a pic of mine, but it's a thunderbird, not a Mustang. Plus my new engine isn't done and the one I have in there is ratty and gross.

why do they look the same you ask... because they are the same... I bought his pipes. had to modify them a little to fit but they are the same pipes.

lol yeah I was pretty sure of that because they seemed identical. What about it did you have to modify?
And what BOV is that?

in the picture on the right where it goes into the intercooler, the outlet of the intercooler in other words, I added that 90 degree metal bend... you can tell because of the different shade in the metal actually. that meant i had to cut one of the other pipes smaller hence the other coupler in there. I think he had some sort of rubber 90 degree bend on his. not sure though.

the BOV is a FORGE dump valve. sound great in my opinion. car is idling a little low but I'm gonna fix that.

yah oil leaks are a ******!!

The 2.0 pinto's are worse. the seals like to fail after so many miles (autobahn high motor reving probably dosnt help much).

nice motors though.

where'd you get that tight elbow coming off the throttle body. And what are you using as the bend from your turbo?

I wish I could tell you about TB tight elbow . I bought it like that. I left my cell number for the guy who did all that , but he never called me back. I think he never called me back , because car had some problems which I already fixed.

I can tell you about bend off turbo ,though... It's rubber IC hose with an 1G Eclipse pipe/BPV or BOV ..
here is better pic
