I must say that the car has potential ... with 6 cylinders ... that dyno tune was on 5 cylinders and would explain the low torque ... just imagine if she made decent boost (never rose above 4psi for me - never got above 5,000RPM) and on 6 cylinders no less

Since I am completely redoing the kit and the Cougar has no A/C and I want to make this tubing kit available to others, I think that I'm going to use the Contour as my "mule" test-bed for the turbo kit. After the kit has all the kinks worked out and my 3L SVT is running 300+hp/tq, then I will probably turn around and sell the car.

I haven't been following your story. What is your car's configuration?
