My 1982 Mustang is Getting a Turbo

[jules82]

I'm going to start install the turbo in my stang, I have a complete kit except for the carb hat. The hot side is all SS steel cold side is Alum. it came with a wastgate, boost adjust, boost gauge, intercooler, all hoses, tubes etc. I just sent the carb to Nickelson Preformance in Bristel PA to make it blowthrough and re-jeted i think i have to change my MSD to one with boost adjust?. I'm also installing NX system to help the lag all i need for that is a carb plate? that another? what plate. I need to move the battery it's in the way but, where do i move it to so many ?'s. I'm looking to see if anyone has done it, the kit is new the guy paid $4,200 for it from HP Performance (peregrineperformance.com). it's under Carbureted Turbo Kits i got lot's of extra's like boost guage etc. The pic in the tread shows the kit and the other the car. The 347 is out last nov. & the 306 is in it has low comp. (9) & has about 360 HP ? The carb is holly DP 650. The wife is going to LA for work so i'm going to start and finish i hope so i can get to the Tags faster.

Possibly interested in going with a Precision TBB with T6 flange? Also has the T6 to T4 adapter if needed. $1200.00 plus shipping. This is $2800.00 brand new!

Looks like a nice kit you got there. Also looks like its gonna be a tight fit.

[GT800]

tight fit is an understatement

Looks like christmas at your house.
Cool.

It is so tight thats what makes me scard it should work? I think the ac might have to go but i like ac since this is a 82 GT T-top with all options i have the window sticker and all rec. for the the car. I got the kit cheap so i had to get it when i'm done i think i might be the only 82 with a 5.0 turbo & NX?

[GT800]

Eh should work. A/c is questionable but shouldn't interfere. You might be jules....82 is certainly a dying breed

thanks
