alot You can make turbo manifolds out of the stock ones or shorty headers then you need to 2 turbos and an intercooller and piping. Then more than likly a new tb and intake manifold. Then add the tune, down pipe, and BOV. I priced it all out last night. Just to get the turbos on there with a tune on a stock internal moter it's like 2k and that's using junkyard parts and some new parts as well. This is just the basic parts there is alot more needed than what's listed

I am sorry. Maybe my state finalist placement in Illinois WYSE in English says otherwise in regards to my grammar. That was also years ago.
Anyways, pages and pages and random topics and chitchat with no regards to relevant topics does get annoying. It is annoying when one is having to sift through the pages to find relevant information and posts. Maybe my patience is a little strained.
To keep on topic, where is cheapest place to get a Motorcraft WP? [MENTION=19263]charliedyal[/MENTION] Did you find a spacer or have your purchases a lightning specific part? I also need the pulley bridge stud/spacer and Matt from LR with the Harley parts yard want $50 for the stud iirc

And to voice my opinion, it is getting a little watered down in here with cross talk and non-building related chatter. Now I'll admit that I'm just as guilty as anyone of breaking the unwritten protocol of this thread by my banter. However, I do try to participate in a productive manner to any builds or relevant questions currently taking place. There are other threads available to voice personal relationship matters and what not on. Please use discretion on what or where you post. Most of us wouldn't recognize the other if we passed each other on the street. But we remain friends thus the less on here. Might I add the reason I participate as a member of this forum is that I feel there is a greater level of comradery and respect on this forum comparative to others. Here's to you guys. Let's keep it pure.

Well, - I can understand that, jferg singled me out when all of you do it. But it's more than that right now. You know how hard it for this guy to lay under the truck and take drive shaft measurements. Then PCV, IAC, breather etc..
I did all that for ibd because he asked me to. I asked for specifics on the drive-shaft measurements, -no answer. So I crawled under the truck and took more than just one just in case. It was a PITA doing that with a tape.
Then , never answering PM's. Since he obviously doesn't need the info anymore, you don't just dis the guys helping you get it. Who does that?? Nevermind, I know the answer. Sorry this happened here, but like I said, man on man doesn't work with this guy, he runs away. Runs from taking responsibility for his own actions. That's the REAL BS.
It'll end here, doing that to me or anyone els for that matter just isn't cool.

I just see it as a real hindrance to members who are actually building or working on their trucks. They ask genuine questions which get lost or overlooked by other people's chit chat and hypothetical questions.
We're all guilty of it but the 4-5 pages was pretty bad. Anywho, Charlie couldn't have said it better. He seems like the epitome of 'calmer heads prevail"
But we're all here because we share something in common or are working towards a similar goal while taking different routes lol.
And a bit of advice to newcomers popping in. If you're bored, read from the beginning- you'll catch up and learn of lot from some of the more knowledgable members.
With that said.. June cannot come soon enough.
I definitely need some help with figuring out the swap list and what I am missing. I'm scared to see how more I actually need with what little disposable income is available

Here is a fine example of what this community is about:
I had recently conferred with [MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION] about needing a pigtail for the intercooler pump on my supercharger build. He had access to an old wiring harness and we went through several connectors trying to find one that would work. Turns out there wasn't a compatible connector on the harness so I would have to go down to a local yard and dig one up. Well, [MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION] then took it upon himself to order me a brand new one and had it shipped to me. I just opened the package today.
I've made many good friends on here and I enjoy being apart of others builds just as they are apart of mine. This is kind of my support group keeping me sane & focused. So thank all of you. [MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION], [MENTION=76903]fordmotorsport[/MENTION], [MENTION=99584]ibd2328[/MENTION], [MENTION=92839]MyFX4Project[/MENTION], [MENTION=52877]4x4dave[/MENTION], [MENTION=76842]Carcrazygts2[/MENTION], [MENTION=113]Jbrew[/MENTION] and anyone else who has contributed in any way. I hope to be able to do the same for you.
