Default My Turbocharged 5.0 Explorer AWD

Just wanting to show off my truck a little. I have been trying to sell it but had no interest, so I guess I'll keep it a little longer.

It is a DIY remote turbocharged 2000 5.0 Explorer XLT with the sport package. It has the following:

Turbo:
Holset HX35 16cm, remote mount
custom rear mount 24x12x4" core intercooler with scoop and 12" fan
STS Turbo oil return pump
2" mandrel pipe up to the front, then switching to 3" at the BOV
Greddy RS style BOV
38mm WG
AEM Wideband
39lb Cobra injectors
90mm LMAF's
Lightning IAT sensor setup
JLP vented oil cap

Truck:
20x8.5 black wheels with 265/50/20 Goodyears RS-A
8000k HID headlights
DIY LED puddle and license lights
cd/dvd player head unit
6.5" flip out monitor in dash
8" subwoofer in stealthbox
custom mounted Terk Commander XM radio
custom center console with boost gauge and wideband

My SCT X-cal is in on its way as we speak with a rough tune from James Henson at Henson Performance. After I get the MAF dialed in remotely, we will be meeting up to do some street WOT pulls. These roller blocks are good to about 500whp, but my turbo is only good to about 400whp, so we wont be getting to crazy with the tune. It should make incredable low end torque though.

Thanks for the compliment. It is a sleeper until you hear it- I get the funniest looks from people because it sounds like freakin semi.

Also, I took this out to mount the gauges in the console....

As soon as I get the tune worked out I will get some track numbers. No dyno time for me because I am AWD- we are tuning it on the street.
