Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

I'm going to get on that bandwagon 78Pinto....... .
   There is enough room for six pictures. And considering it only takes miniwheats anyway,and considering I have begun my interior BUILD. I agree.

AHHH hell Just run them through the firewall.  OR OR! Maybe straight up!!?? "A LA" Tractor Pull Style!!!
 LOL

But really to have any kind of clearance sounds like you need to have the floorpan humped out at least 2"
 Also im wondering about the vibration from the engine and the weight of the turbos on the headers. My buddy at work has a Turbo 2.3 SVO Mustang RACE/STREET and its blowing up headers left and right. Well come to find out he has no Flex Coupling on the down pipe to allow for engine movement. Well after 2 headers hes going to get a flex for the new header.
 So to recap im thinking 2 3" flex couplers on the downpipe and a couple of tunnels for the exhaust.
 Unless you want to just dump it out behind the front wheels??!!!
Anyways looking good and well engineered.
 Cant wait for more progress.

Zoomies it is!  I took a close look at the downpipe dilema today and i think i have the answer....and on the drivers side will be no cutting of the fender wells/firewall  and passenger side just a little bit.  My engine will be on Mustang II motormounts, plus it will be strapped down, with very little movement allowed.  The exhaust will be held up with one mount ( and a lose backup just incase) so it is free to move as nesasary.  I have ordered the 3" pipes with 65-70 degree bends (4 in total) and will post pictures if all works out as planned.

downpipes worked out, had to cut a small section from wheelwell to make it fit on passenger side.  Blowoff is installed now.

I didn't take a picture from the side, but you can't see them. The exhaust will run outside the unibody structure underneath and will exit out the sides infront of the back wheels (like sidepipes) It will all be done in flat black with stainless exhaust tips poking out.

 Jet hot has a black coating i think. I know im trying to spend your money LOL!
Or at least use the VHT ceramic paint. Its $10 a can pluss your sposed to use a primer also but probably cheaper than coating the "side pipes"
 Your probably getting tired of hearing all the praise that your doing on this "mad machine" but i cant help it  SWEEET!!!!

The firewall hole has been repaired, along with the small hole in the passenger side wheel well where the downpipe goes through.  I'll finish welding the patches in when i pull the mockup motor....gotta wait for the new up22 fiberglass hood to arrive to make sure everything (carb, bonnet, intercooler tube) fits underneath it before i rip it all out, better safe than sorry!  Dash was supposed to be here this weekend but my buddy got busy so it'll have to wait till this week sometime. Also bought a couple of 3" Magnaflow mufflers for it.  Should sound pretty good!

78Pinto,
    Am I seeing duel wastegates?? Wouldn't one common wastegate to both turbos be a little bit more controllable and safer for the engine? Afterall the boost is going to one common place.

your thinking of a blowoff valve....for bleeding down boost.  The wastegates control the amount of exhaust flowing into the turbine section of the turbo, if you only had one wastegate it would only limit boost output on one turbo, because they each feed off one bank of cylinders independant of eachother.  If i had 4 turbos i would need 4 wastegates (two exhaust pipes into each of the 4 turbos) Hope you understand.

Ran into a setback today, seems my rustfree Pinto....isn't rust free!  All of this occured from the inside out, likely because of the windsheild gasket.  When i put the new carpet in two years ago it was just starting to rust, i should have fixed it then but i didn't and it spread. The holes are mainly over the unibody frame so i couldn't see them, when i took the wire brush to the floor i could see tiny pinholes.....i made them bigger by poking at them to see how far the rot went.  This in only on the drivers side, the passenger side is fine.  I'm cutting out the rusty section and putting in new metal, then i'll use POR15 on the entire inside of the floor, the underside will be done later as well. I never would have noticed this from underneath the car....at least not till it rusted alot more, have an eye guys!
