Also, to all the Taurus alt acolytes. There's nothing wrong with a properly functioning FD alt (especially when upgrading from the craptastic s4 alt). The FD alt does "turn on" , but that happens at 3,000 rpm, not 6 grand, so if thats the case, either the belts were lose, the alt was bad, or it was wired incorrectly. My FD alt charges at 14.2 volts even below 3k rpm once the car has been running, and has done so for the last 4 years (and I bought it used). I have nothing against cheap an effective mods but if you have a working FD alt, theres no reason to jump ship. And lets be honest, the Taurus alt while effective, is ugly :rofl:

I believe he was exaggerating the point of revving to 6k, but regardless waiting for the fd alt to turn on is a bit inconvenient. I also have an fd alt and when keeping the revs low or at idle, its a struggle to keep above 13 volts with lights, heat, radio etc. at idle with all loads on it can barely handle it, so why waste time with it risking killing a battery or worst, when there's a cheap fix.

Nope wasn't exaggerating when I revved it up to 6k. I hated rolling out of meets and having to book it down the street to rev it to 6k and not look like a ricer. :icon_tdow

try cutting the heat shield on the bottom of your ic. some guy on here claimed that his intake temps dropped 15 degrees.
when you ported your turbine housing did you change the flappers to a larger one? it might help more with your boost creep.

this is how i did mine. i think going through the upper frame rail looks a bit better than just zip ties
