Hey guys,
I've been reading up on turbomustangs.com quite a bit, the turbo bible etc etc.
Ok,
I've read somewhere that SD works better for boosted applications. Is this referring to the stock EEC-IV SD i have in my 87 Stang or ??? How does the MAP sensor handle reading boost rather than vacuum? If I were to build a turbo setup with my stock SD EEC would it even run, or is there a lot of modifications to the EFI system required?
Obviously tuning is very important but from what I have read, MAF stangs will run a turbo without a tune in most cases.
Also, how does all the vaccuum related equipment work when you are boosting? I mean brakes should still work because when you are on the breaks, you are off the gas = no boost, vacuum. But how does it affect other things like the PCV system and other vaccuum related stuff?
Here's the list in my head so far of things needed for a turbo setup.
-Turbos and all the plumbing (oil feed/drains, downpipe, headers etc)
-Wastegates (best to plumb back into downpipe or to atmosphere? fumes in car?)
-Intercooler - Air to air for street
-Upgraded fuel system (pump, injectors, AFPR)
-BOV (goes before TB or MAF?)
-Free flowing exhaust system
-Tweecer R/T or ??
Probably lots that i am forgetting.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Mike
