For about a year and a half now I been planning going with a turbo.
MPT70 (7psi, 10-12 when i'm in the mood :drool: ), forward flowing headers. All the hotside piping will be 14gauge mild steel, flanges are 3/8" thick. I will be getting them coated by Jet Hot the black 2000* coating if I remember correctly.
Now I still want the car to be DD, well not everyday but weekends(work van during the week :) ). My friend has been trying to talk me out of the turbo because hes saying I will be only be able to drive it about once a day and not for a long time and after three months the headers will crack. he says that they will glow beat red and melt and to buy a v8 mustang (hes a mustang boy). I really dont care what he has to say cause i'm not getting another car and already have half the parts.
Now my question is what are some of the problems you guys are seeing with ffh over the long run, are your headers turning beat red after normal driving? are they cracking?
