so here's some updates after yanking out the mitsu turbo, and junking the other head (dropped a valve)
took the photos with the new head temporarily bolted on to mock up the pipes again. its a little tight in some areas and will have to address future radiant heat issues (down pipe is not indexed in the one photo) . sent the head out to another shop locally to get the spring seats cut for the new springs. the last shop didn't have the right cutters, however did a good job with what i gave them. still looking to clean some things up, installed a bar and plate air to air behind the grill. may be a bit small 2.25" in and out, but should still be better than nothing.
this round managed find someone to help with the tuning files, wired in a wideband and boost gauge, head studs along with a felpro 1024 head gasket. 65lb injectors (found the specs for the coyote injectors to be on the light side, 37-38lb/hr) found some pro comp 1.7 rockers from a 5.0l i might try out. thinking with the stock cam i wont notice too much of a change but with the head/port work any little bit will help.. hoping to have this thing running in the next week or two again
