Car isn't running right (bad recurring mis in cylinder #5). Also throwing codes for running too lean. The car was tuned at an altitude of 4,500 ft. and I'm at 500 ft. I fear that the tuner set a fix parameter for the altitude somehow. The system will be fitted to my built up 3L sometime this winter ... Hope to have the Cougar running by spring.

Needs a turbo blanket and a better wastegate I think. That turbonetics has a small diameter inlet I guess. Still looks pretty good overall and as long as there is no boost creep it will be no big deal.
I would guess you just have a poor tune. THe altitude considerations should be minimal at best and not cause misfires. This is a A/F issue I bet.
Get a wideband on it when you can.

That wastegate tubing setup you have there is truly baffling unless I am just retarded.
You're taking wastegated air and shooting it right back at the turbine outlet? That makes no sense.
Not to mention the tubing is tiny.
Someone please inform me if I took my retard pills this morning and don't know what i'm looking at.

That wastegate setup is pretty poor, not to mention the fact that the pipe is WAY to small to prevent boost creep and Turbonetics W/G's suck.
The intake plumbing is pretty nicely done though.
PS, please tell me it's just a optical illusion and that the hose from the BOV is not connect to a boost controller.

At the end of that tube it might be a mechanical boost controller... Hard to tell.

That's what it looks like to me, like he has the BOV connected to a boost controller - I hope not, cos I can't for the life of me figure out why you would do that

Oh Doh! I didn't even see that. I guess the blow off never works unless he's really boosting then.
Actually, under part throttle that would preven it from being used and then he wouldn't have to worry about going too rich.
On the other hand on mildly aggressive driving it will stall out the compressor. Hmm.
