Pinto5.0:
The poorly running draw-through on Callisto really kicked a$$ once it spooled up. I also have an '87 T-Type & an '87 GN & I love it when the boost kicks in.
Now that I have the glass fenders, bumper & hood I'm loathe to add weight back in if I can help it. I'm shooting for 2100 pounds wet.
What I may do is piece together my EFI Turbo since I have a fresh turbo 2.3 longblock already. I want a bigger turbo, larger injectors, header, bigger throttle body & modified intake anyhow so why bother starting with stock parts. Big VAM's & wiring harnesses are on Ebay as are the ECU's so why not buy it a piece at a time. I have all the time in the world to dig up the parts since I wont even get to this car for at least 2 years anyhow.......

5.0 I'm doing the same thing. Piece here and there.
I've already stared finding up grade parts for my wagon.
But the secrete one is coming soon!!!!!

Miswell Just upgrade to a megasquirt system and not mess with the stock efi stuff If your pieceing it together anyhow.

Bigtimmay.
The megasquirt system seems to be pretty staright forward as far as installation, But writing all the programs it needs, is a Big challenge for me.

My plan was to run this harness with the SVO ECU & VAM to make my life easier.

I'm not heavily into EFI but I'm on a fast learning curve. Most turbo swaps are abandoned due to wiring headaches & until I learn every square inch of each connection & what it does I want to go with a plug & play harness regardless of the cost.
