Now I guess that a "Twin Turbo Coupe"  :D

BTW, The install looks really clean. Is that a Cartech Kit or something else? And is the intercooler going to be front mount and if so how is it going to fit?

Nice work! Me Likey :D  :D  :D

, you had the show... now you're making it GO!  Awesome work.  I think this is the only TT 5.0 Fox T-bird I've seen.


Not the first I've seen, but definately the most professional.  Here's the one that I'd seen before:

Along with the other questions, what's the info on your block and internals? Heads? Headers? Turbos? Man, I'm up in Bemidji, now I really need to meet up with you. When do you think you'll have it running?

The turbos are t3's with t4 compressors. I have made everything so far from scratch to save money and keep fit and finish to my specifications. I did alot of research on how to go about doing it with out modiying everything. This was the plan since I put the 5.0 in so I made some different engine mounts to clear the headers when the right header is put on the left and the left header is put on the right. Most of the modification will not be noticible as far as making new a/c lines rotating the power steering pump for clearance, moveing the coil next to the a/c pump. There are a few other minor changes but nothing to difficult. My original intent was to keep all the assecorys wich I have manges to do. I also did not want to cut any sheet metal which manage also. Is all a tight squeeze but it fits and dosent look half ass. sometimes keeping somthing looking simple and clean can bee a difficult task. As far as block and internal it all stock 91 mustang parts. This limits what I  can run my boost at because the limit of the block is around 500 HP or so. I plan to keep it under that to be safe plus my transmission is only rated at 350 ft lbs of torque so slicks wont be seeing the rear end anytime soon. I do plan on putting on a new set of head gaskets and maybe a b303 cam and gear drive timing gears.

I slapped down $150 for a cold air and k&n filter installed at a speed shop, I told them it was for a mustang. I got out to my car and pop the hood, and they laugh and me, and tell me not to waste there time anymore and refused to let me buy one.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
