If you don't have a pot to piss in like you say, how can you have 1988, 1992 and 2004 Mustangs??? The Egg Nogg test is called for here, on all three cars.

I doubt that you own any of these cars... if you do, explain how the twin-turbos work in you're old mustang.

Jesus Christ, who gives a **** if they're his or not. For one, why would he claim to own a few Mustangs rather than a turbo Lingenfelter Corvette. I believe him. Even if he doesn't have them, I just don't care. It's a cool picture of a twin turbo stang anyway. BTW, I own a Maybach.

The Egg Nogg test is a little thing we have to keep BS fanboys off the forum. If you own what you say you do, it's easy take. It's one of the things that makes us different from other forums.

I give a **** if it's his or not... Fanboys clog up the forums w/ their retarded little claims. Congratulations on the Maybach though. :rolleyes:

Thanks, I worked hard for it.

I just don't understand why a fanboy would claim to own three mustangs, two of which being an older generation, and the fastest doing about a 12 in the quarter. Considering twin turbo v8, I would have claimed that my turbos were pushing 18 psi of boost along with a purpose-built racing engine. My twin turbo Mustang would have been doing 8's in the quarter with the stock sheet metal body.

I actually own an 03 V6 Mustang.

what do you need for proof of ownership? that is kind of a wierd request, but i will honor it. Let me know what you think. I can post more pictures if you need, i just didn't want to take up alot of banwidth. As far as my turbo car and experience, feel free to stop by my web site at www.turborides.com and see what my thoughts are on how a turbo works. If you would like, i can start a thread and in laymens terms, describe the full workings of a turbo motor...............anyways, hotwheels of turborides

It's a tradition here on UCP, it very quickly removes the BS'ers ( well soem of them :) ) from UCP :)
Search for the "egg-nog challenge" and you'll see others posts. Simple, write a message on a sheet of paper to UCP with your UCP sig and stick it over the top of the gearshift, take a pic and post it.

Thanks, there are many threads already on UCP describing it and it's almost becoming tradition ehre to poitn folks to www.howstuffworks.com for the easy introductory explanations.
Looking forward to your comments on the more advanced stuff folks will usually ask Qs about.
Welcome :)

rockefella, i will do a quick run down on my turbo system.

i have two t3/t4 hybrid turbo's........they are sitting on the end of mac shorty headers...just before the turbo's i have 2 deltawaste gates, for controlling my boost, i also have a boost controller which comes from my drivers side turbo, which senses the boost...my hotside exhaust dumps out of the turbo's hotside, into 3" dump tubes, which connect to a mac exhaust system, which has a set of mac 3" pro dumps.....on the cold side of my turbo's, the air enter's the turbo's, and goes into my intercooler (which is rated for 750 hp), from there it goes through my 3.5" pro-m maf and into a 75mm throttle body, on the same line, before my maf system, i have a turbonetics stage 3 bov........now, when i floor the car and the boost begins to build, my wastegates will open and dump any extra boost of exhaust that is not needed for my engine's needs. When i let off of the gas pedal, my bov valve makes a wooshing sound, letting of any extra pressure that was going into my intake system, in order to prevent my turbo's from stalling or even worse, spinning backwards......i have a x2cmotorsports.com v2.0 transmission installed, along with a mcleod sfi bellhousing, fly wheel and backing plate, with a spec III clutch to control my forward momentum. My car sits on mickey thompson et streets which are 10.5 x 26 ........um, my ignition system is an msd 6al, an msd pro billet dist., along with a msd btw to control my timing retard when i go into boost..........i have a turbo timer, a/f ratio gauge, boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, etc...........let me know if that is enough knowledge, of if you feel like you would like to challenge my knowledge on the workings of a turbo system......please take the time and check out my cars, and my thoughts at www.turborides.com i might talk gibberish, but i don't talk shit........i am 40 years old and my hobby is mustangs, i am sorry that most people can't afford to play or what ever you may call it, but a site like this, base on true high performance cars, should really car about my cars, that all together aren't worth over 35,000 u.s. later rockefella................hotwheels of turborides

i also apologize to the mods and admins for using up this bandwidth for this type of conversation, normally i would post in a better spot, but the question's of my cars was aske here........i truly hope that is okay, i mean no disrespect...........hotwheels

no apologies necessary anbd no disprespect :)

Once you've read around UCP a bit more you'll find stuff people SHOULD apologise for and IS disrespectful. ( tho keeping out of the Aussie forums lessens the impact :) sorry guys )

Good post on your setup and nice pics.
Keep posting pics and info on the 'stangs :)

thanks rockefella, i wish i would have known more about the egg-nog challenge, hell, that is an awesome idea.

that 04 stang looks cool (and thats coming from a holden fan), but it needs bigger rims, nice cars mate

thanks friend, i truly appreciate the positive comment's.......i tend to agree, if they would have put bigger rim's, and a little bit deeper rim, the car would be the bomb.....i truly love the car and i hope i never have to get rid of it. Would love to keep it so my grandkids, if i ever have any, will have something kewl to show their friends..............have a superday, hotwheels of turborides
