yea, finding a complete kit is hard. make sure it has everything. if it is the stock 93 or 94 turbo, u will need the driverside valvecover, turbo, feedlines, drain tube, up pipes, down pipe, the cast Y for exhaust, and air cleaner assy if u want the factory look.


i got mine out of a just yard, pulled it all myself. took about 7 hrs to install it on the motor. pain in the *** but the power is worth it.

let me know when u get a system, i will give you some pointers...

i traded an injection pump for my turbo, a stock rebuilt 1994 ATS system with upgraded housing and 3" DP. It was a steal but a mutual trade. I posted the install on ford-trucks, thread titled ATS 093 install. 10psi in less than a second leaves me screaming!! Also a post on youtube, here is a
! god i love my turbo.

yes u will need the valve cover still. and only firewall massaging will be the pinch weld. just makes it easyier to get the uppipes and downpipe past it.
