parts i have
probe gt turbocharger (internal wastegate set to 7-8psi)
probe gt intercooler
proM 70MM MAF
diablo chip (installed)
downpipe(will need to be modified i'm sure)
stock zetec manifold
adapter from turbo to manifold
parts i need
42lbs injectors
oil, coolant, vac lines
charge piping(very minimal due to the mounting location of the intercooler, roughly 4 feet of 2.25)
bov/bypass( i will be running a bypass no matter what, going to talk to my buddy about getting his stock probe bypass soon)
EGR delete plate
now another question... i currently have a crower stage 2 intake cam, and stock exhaust cam(yea yea, ask rod, we had fun), would the turbo benefit from these cams? or should i put my stock intake cam back in?

well a turbo is exhaust driven so a cam that flows good on the exhust as well as intake is a good thing id keep the stage two and get a stage two exhaust, remembr a good n/a motor is a awsome boost motor.

This is incorrect. Not all cams are boost friendly. If both valve intake and exhaust cams open to close together, you're just blowing boost through it and not utilizing the boost. Stock cams or turbo grind are recommended for turbo boost. I've seen some people get good results from Crower ST1, but ST2 is probably too extreme. Having that said, compressing and cams are a good thing for a roots style blower, but turbo is a different ballgame.

from what Ray @ Mcnews tells me, lift == torque, duration == hp... (there are other variables as well... some high-lift cams with long duration obviously don't have low end torque)

k, well hey rod, shall we swap in the stock intake cam and let that bitch of a bolt rest?
