Thanks man!. I am running a Bo-Port 2.1 Cam witch is a roller. And the turbo is a Garrett t3/t4 50 trim hybrid with a stage 3 wheel. Plan on running about 18 lbs of boost regularly with it.

My own project, a T-Top '82 GT, will end up having a 2.3t replacing the 5.0,
however, I started the SVO infusion from the suspension/brake/wheel end.
With Koni's 'round, including quad shocks, 4 wheel discs and 5-bolt SVO
wheels, the last thing to do is the engine compartment adding an SVO 2.3t,
including an FMIC, all bolted to the 5.0 T-5 drivetrain. Still a ways out for
my 2.3t, but it's good to read others' projects and the different ways of going
about the swap.

Still working out a few issues but it runs and drives so it got washed and a little wax to the paint that remains on it. lol.

Sweet. Did you get your boost coming on any earlier or are you still working on that bit? Looks good.

I spy T Tops in the weeds back there.

Man I love the early Capris, I miss my '79. I like the sail panels on them better than the mustang and the fender bulges too. I think they lost the plot a little when they went to the bubble backs though. No offense to those that own them, I just prefer the early cars with the flat back glass.

No but i think i got an idea of whats going on with it. I beleive the wastegate is stuck open a bit causing my issue. And yes that s my 86 GT in the background. I been so tied up with the capri that i have neglected the clutch cable issue and replacing the starter on that one. lol. To many projects not enought time.
