Prodigy Performance 3.6 Turbo DIY Install

[UselessPickles]

It fits! Just barely. I did not have to trim the grill.



Intake temps are much lower now. About 30*F lower for steady cruising, and about 70* cooler at the end of a full throttle acceleration through the entire RPM range in 2nd gear. The BOV sound is more enjoyable than the sound of air rushing backwards through the turbo.

Data logs show that there's about 8-9% more air going into the engine from about 3700 rpm to red line. This seems to be in agreement with Prodigy's peak dyno number claims (relative comparison between stage 1 and 2), which show stage 2 having about 10% more peak torque.

More details to come later.

Solid work. Its amazing how that fat intercooler fits behind the grill with JUST enough room that no trimming is needed. Prodigy nailed that one on the head.

Looks awesome now make that wastegate external and let it scream

[UselessPickles]

Not sure what you mean. It already has an external wastegate (not part of the turbo). Do you mean convert to an open dump pipe rather than reintroducing the bypassed exhaust back into the exhaust system? If so, then no thanks

The black looks good. What did you do about the stainless clamps? Also liked the mythbuster video lol.

Pickles is fierce with a spray can! It was a fun conversation we had that, in theory, the black painted intercooler is more efficient because the paint increases the surface area. We all know more surface area does mean more cooling...

Ba hahaha... So by this logic, me putting on a big puffy down jacket should make me cooler, because the jacket increases my surfaces area, thereby increasing my cooling... Timma!

Ha! All joking aside - He's just down for the sleeper look. I'm sure he could blow a mustang out of the water with those stock wheels and all that boost. I bet some minds have been blown at stop lights!
