    Here are a few pics of my 1996 Bronco…I just put Ford X303 aluminum heads and an edelbrock truck intake manifold on it over the X-mas/new years holidays.. I have more pics of a couple other vehicles I do not own anymore….A 2005 350Z and a 2000 Ford Exploder which I also turbocharged….The Z did 117 MPH in the 1/4 on street tires (Manual transmission) and the Exploder did 101 MPH on street tires. Both with 8-9 PSI of boost on totally stock engines…..This Bronco now has MUCH better breathing with the new heads and intake manifold!! I am only running 4-5 PSI right now for tuning purposes….I will have it back up to 9 psi before long…and when the weather warms up a little--Too much ice/snow out here to run that much power….


    I tried posting pics but i guess either I am not allowed yet (too new) or i am doing something wrong…..not sure which…. his is only my 2nd post here...

    I keep trying to upload pics on here and I keep getting a red exclamation mark that shows up next to the filename…what is up with that?? I have tried uploading as an attachment and as a picture…..They are JPG files, I am using a macbook, and it will not work


    Yay!!! I got it to work….ok here come some pics of my Bronco build….first the exhaust section prior to installing the turbo….remember it is a remote mount turbo--mounted on the passenger side directly underneath the rear (what was) bench seat…. IMG_0663.jpg #ad

    Here are some pics first of the scavenge pump I have used on 3 remote mount turbo vehicles I have built, and of the engine work I did over the x-mas/new years holiday….stock heads off the engine, and completed 351W with ford X303 aluminum heads and an edelbrock truck intake on it...
