Thanks everyone.
I have about a months worth of work before its on the road. The tach isnt even hooked up yet. Bob Lee of 40bob.com made the centermount log header and gutted, shortened, rotated and deleted the EGR on the upper intake. The intercooler is from a Volvo car and cant be trusted over 20# of boost. A better intercooler that is about the same size yet flows better and can handle higher boost is a NPR truck or similar intercooler. Im keeping the VAM for now. I have thought of switching to a MAF. Good chance Ill do it or go blow through VAM. This engine is pretty much 88 TurboCoupe stock. Far from what the Hubers are
running in the stang.

Wagons are cool!

Sweet 2.3L!
You cut and rewelded the intake 90 degrees. What intercooler are you running in front of that aluminum radiator?
I'm doing the same thing with a 2.5L and need to find a good intercooler.
