Suspension/Steering / where can I find performance brake parts?
I got the master cylinder from FLSTCI71 but the car also needs pads, rotors, and calipers. Since I need to replace all of these parts I figured I might as well replace them with the best parts I can find (or at least afford). So does anybody know where I can find a good set of four drilled and slotted rotors, steel braided lines, performance pads, and better than stock calipers?

Engine Tech / What do I need to do to prepare my engine for a T3/T4 Hybrid turbo?
For now I basically just wanna replace the stock turbo. I was gonna rebuild it but a thorough rebuild kit is like $75 on ebay but I can get a T3/T4 for a little less than $175 shipped.

Also... The info on the T3/T4 says it has a .50 A/R Compressor and a .63A/R Turbine. Does anyone know what the specs are for the factory turbo that's in an 88 turbo coupe? Can you explain to me what the whole A/R thing is, I read it somewhere but don't remember what it was.

Engine Tech / Small object on the firewall. Pretty sure has to do with vacuum...
There's a small round object mounted on the firewall near the turbo and I'm assuming it has something to do with vacuum. Well I pulled the hoses to replace them and like an idiot didn't mark them. Luckily the car isn't my daily driver (yet) and I haven't tried to look and figure it out myself (the car is at my mother's) but, what is it and where do the hoses go?

I know at least one of them connects to one of the small tubes on the turbo inlet here....

Engine Tech / Turbo rebuild kit?
Anybody know where I can get a decent turbo rebuild kit for a decent price? I don't wanna spend a fortune but it can't be  either.

Misc Tech / Brake proportioning valve
If anybody besides david_jo_xr7 have a brake system from an 88 turbo coupe for sale please let me know. Mine is bad and I’m looking for one that’s in really good shape.

Engine Tech / Stroker kit? Performance cam gears?
Does anybody make a stroker kit or cam gears for the 2.3 turbo? Also we should make a place for links to the websites of companies that make performance parts for all the fox body engines. Can you guys tell me of some sites that sell performance parts for the 2.3 turbo?
25
Misc Tech / A pillar gauge pod?
Will a 79 - 93 Mustang A pillar pod fit an '88 Turbo Coupe?



If not, where can I get an A pillar gauge pod for my turbo coupe? (Preferable with 2 or 3 holes)
26
Electrical Tech / Gauge pod question
I found this A pillar gauge pod for sale and it says its for 94-02 mustangs and the picture looks like it would fit an 88' turbo coupe but I can't imagine these being compatible. Will it fit? If not, where can I get an A pillar gauge pod for my turbo coupe? (Preferable with 2 or 3 holes)

Misc Tech / Lug nuts
Does anyone know the lug nut specs for a Turbo Coupe? Such as 12mm x 1.25.

Vendor/Seller Feedback / Super Negative for David_jo_xr7!!!
We agreed on a price for some brake parts, I sent him the money and the last I heard from him about two months ago was "oh I got the parts out of the car and I'll send 'em in the next couple of days". Well it turns out he's done this many times before. If only I had known that before I sent my money. Here are two links to threads talking about such issues.

I purchased some parts from someone on the forum, sent him the money, haven’t gotten the parts, and now he's ignoring me and won't return any of my E-mails. What can I do?!

Engine Tech / 5.0 Mass Air conversion on 2.3 turbo?
I bought this plug for my 5.0 mass air meter for my turbo 2.3 but I'm not sure which wires on the plug go to which wires on the factory wiring. Can anyone help?
