    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    If you go with On3 be prepared for the poor fitment and nonexistent customer service... just saying. And I agree, it would be. That is why I am doing this build. I have had a lot more experience with turbocharged vehicles and prefer it to supercharged. So I figured this would be a good baseline...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    I apologize to those that have been following this thread I have had some personal things I needed to attend to the past couple of weeks and haven't had much time to get on here. I'll be picking up where I left off shortly.

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    I Agree they do use a lot better turbo. and I'll assume they use a better BOV and wastegate than the On3 kit, since most of the pictures on their site have broken links . But even from the looks of it their bracketry is the same (Turbo support and P/S relocate bracket). Had I known about this...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Thank for the link Earl. I took a few minutes to look at their kit. From the look of the pictures and what comes with it, it seems that it is the same as the On3 kit. Just with a different turbo, welded bung for the slot meter and it includes a fuel pump and the Ford Racing injectors. Aside from...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Thank you, and I highly doubt it as they have horrible customer service. I called them several times on many separate occasions only to be met with an answering message. And even then you can't leave a message because their "box is full, would you like to leave a call back number?". Honestly I...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    With all that out of the way I figured I would start messing around with the intercooler and piping for it. There was a bit of head scratching when it came to this as well. On3 says to run the piping to the front from the turbo and the throttle body so that you can get a good placement for the...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    While I had the intake manifold off I figured I would address another issue I was having. I believe I made mention of it earlier in this thread. The cooling hoses on the driver's side of the 05-06 GTs and the, in my opinion retarded design, thermostat housing. As you may or may not know from 05...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    It has been a few days since I have had time to get on here, but I do have progress to share. I have finished installing the oil filter relocation kit. Also the intercooler is installed along with all the cold side piping. The Steeda charge motion delete plates and BBK twin 62mm Throttle body...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Moving along. It was time to install the up pipe with the turbo bolted on tight and the oil return line mounted to the bottom of the turbo. It is necessary to put these together first and clock the turbo to the position it needs to be (outlet facing pretty much straight down) as these areas are...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Thanks, I appreciate it. I kinda wish I would have started this thread when I first started the install cause I would have gotten a lot more detailed pics of why and how I am making the changes and modifications that I am going to make or have made. But I should be able to cover most of it with...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Along with the oil return line It was needed to get the oil filter relocation done as well as the area is pretty much inaccessible after the up-pipe and turbo are installed. The kit that is provided from On3 is one from Jeg's, part # 555-51715. Like with the oil return I opted to use braided...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Before I get to far ahead of myself there is the issue of the oil return line for the turbo. In On3's instructions the refer you to the Procharger website and recommend that you follow their directions for punching and tapping the oil pan. Since I wasn't to crazy about the idea of hammering a...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Ok, parts are all unpacked and inventoried. Time to get started with the install. I started by removing my Pypes cat-less x-pipe. The nuts on the manifold studs came off fairly easily since I hadn't had the x-pipe on to long. I installed the two pipes that attach to the manifolds and then clamp...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Ok, so as I am putting these pics together in order, I figure I would start with saying that so far this has been a very laborious undertaking. when I first ordered this kit I assumed that it would be a direct bolt-on kit as their website leads one to believe. When I received all of the boxes I...

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Hello everyone, I just thought I would start this thread to document my install of the 05-09 GT single turbo kit from On3Performance. I have found that this kit is not quite just a "bolt-on" as they lead one to believe on their website. I am a little over half way done with the install and...
