Sounds awesome.....we need to see pics!!!!

How many miles is one your tour?...J/w cause dont wanna FI a car with high mileage

Yeah, I think this is the first turbo'd Zetec 'tour. We gotta see pics. I'd highly recommend getting on that dyno to (a) see what you're putting down and (b) make sure you aren't running too rich or lean, which could cause damage. I'd hate to hear of so much work going down the drain.

I will patiently expect updates

this is sweet man, no longer are the turbo zetec cougars hoggin all the spotlight

can't wait to see...

I hope you wrote a FAQ man cuz ur gonna get a lot of questions!

As of right now the car has 75k. The car has been freshened up a little. I purchase the car from my sister last augaust when the car had roughly 50k. Since then I have done some simple mods like an intake and exhaust. In july of 2003 I
had the head ported and polished. Up until now that was my largest upgrade. I just recently replaced the timing belt and the lower tensioner pulley b/c it was going bad. Other than that the car has been running like a dream. I havent had any major problems out of the car since I have had it.
I used to post on here a while ago but some people thought it was impossible for a zetec contour to run a 16.1 1/4 mile but thats all right. I have since put alot of time and money into the car. My only concern now will be the clutch when I finally up the boost.

Well, as of right now the car runs slightly rich according to my a/f gauge. Maybe by this summer I will have complete control of the car as far as ignition timing and fuel managment. Future upgrades will include an msd dis 2 and and timing boost master by msd. A walbro 190 or 255 lph fuel pump. Right now I have a vortec fmu which has been doing its job as far as I can tell I mean up until about 2800 rpm the gauge reads lean and after that it tends to begin running rich but like I said I am only running 4psi. Before I turn up the boost I will have all of my necessary components. It is just hard I am only 18 and this car is consuming my $$$$

That would be the one, but now I have something to overcome that. My car was really running 16.1 but I do not have my timeslip anymore. I have not ran the car since then but since then I have had the head ported and polished. Even more that that now I have a turbo.
