![]() you don't have 90 horsepower....you have 88
![]() Cheap stuff: take the big plastic piece that says FORD with a circle around it on the intake tract between the mass air flow sensor and throttle body and look inside. Notice how it goes from 2" in diameter to 1.5" in diameter. Take a sharp object like a box cutting knife (exacto knife) or razor blade and cut that restriction out. All that is, is an intake muffler. Another thing that is restrictive and causes turbulance in the incoming air is the stock air box. You can buy a cone filter to replace the box, or you can adapt a 5.0L system to pull air in from the fenderwell (the stock 5.0L air box isn't bad at all). The 5.0L air box has a rubber hose connecting to the Mass air flow sensor that is easily adjustable to different sizes especially with the clips that come on them so i believe you can use the stock hardware. If nothing else, it's worth a try. You could also probably pick a stock airbox off of some one from this site for REAL CHEAP. Good luck,

![]() I have the turbo from a 1985 300zx sitting in my garage, its made for a 3.0 L and comes with 9 lbs of boost with no Intercooler. Do you think this will fit? where do i find the intake and exhaust in order to make this turbo. If you could refer me to a site it would be awsome. Thanks
