go get the car checked out, compression wise, if all turns out sweet, turbo, 10psi and add some fuel and you will be sweet, just get it tuned buy some one that knows what they are doing, also fit an egt and boost guage just to keep an eye on things, sweet. this might sound dumb but i'm still ...

haha yer god bless the td42's ay

thats exactly what i was thinking about doing roughly how boost will they handle without having to put bigger pistons and what not. mine is a 1990 model td42 as well

thanks for the comments to fella's

yer i was just being lazy. i'm looking around atm at threads lol.

looks like i'll be going a turbo then lol. next thing i'm wondering would a td42 with 270,000 k's on it still handle a turbo pretty well or would you sugest doing a little bit of work first?

whats your thoughts on what would get me more power but i need it to be fairly reliable cheers

i'm getting them off hiflo as they are poop load cheaper then any1 in tas

well i'm going to buy new injectors in a couple of weeks and i was wondering wat to do. as there's about 200 bucks diff between brand new injectors and reco one's. is it worth spending the 200 extra for brand new one's or are the reco ones gonna be just as good??

cheers

sounds a bit like a earth problem mate, i had the same problem once pretty much the same as wat u r having and it turned out to be a bad earth.

Wouldnt you get engine braking anyway if you've got your foot off the throttle? Your not putting more fuel in so there wouldnt be any accel, thats the way ive always looked at it anyway. As for the switch, not sure bout the mustang type but im pretty sure there the same as the commo one, but no ...

tell me if i'm wrong but can you wire in a switch to turn the supercharger on/off? possible. i'm not sure if you can fit a clutched pulley to them but otherwise they can come with bypass valve which you can rig up easy enough. you can rig it to idle switch etc which can help with economy. if you ...

Easier option = lift your foot.

i'm only new to supercharger's and i was thinking if you could wire up a on/off switch it give back ya engine brake's for down hill's or would it muck everything up like you said?
