    After many months I finally got together some pics of the old Turbo Engineering kit. It was a well layed out design that didn't require moving any accessories or even the battery for that matter. Just a minor hose relocation on the power steering pump. I'm not even sure this is the proper forum for this but atleast the pics are here for the moderators to put where they see fit.

    even the swaybar can stay in it's stock location. We had to clearance the swaybar frame mount for this set-up but i believe it has to do more with the K member than the kit. On a factory k member car we didn't have that issue.

    Cool kit - I remember the same kit on a 93 Cobra a long time ago in one of the mustang rags.

    I noticed that the turbo mounts pretty far outboard - I have large front tires on my car which rub that inner skirt at full lock. Would that interfere with the turbo?

    TrentK, the kit is no longer on that car and there is no intercooler or pipes as of now. But I will take photos when i get an intercooler and start the assembly process.

    eric88t, thats a PT&E T74..... this kit would be very easy to make...

    I have a TT kit on my 351W - It works great. I love it.

    edit - search under my name for "can you find the turbos" There are some fairly recent pics of my kit in there.

    this turbo kit came with a "water puppy" pump with an impeller that can handle hi-temps and oil.. they do work but i am looking into something alittle better.

    Dman - I dont suppose you could post a few more pics from different angles? Would like to see more on the routing of the downpipe and maybe some more take from a little farther away on the turbo side.

    Thanks!
