My X has a Powerstroke Powerplant. This one has a 5.4 Liter V8. If you look at the tail pipe, it goes out the back, points to the ground, and is much smaller. And much like this X, My X is always on the move.

Another photo of the system and yes I was playing Bullitt to enjoy the surround sound effect. By the way this system has Wireless headphones. So the passengers can listen to the movie and I can listen to whatever. Maybe I'll put a set of the headph...

I said surround sound, well tune the radio to 89.1FM and the sound plays over the speakers. The only down side was the switch to turn the RF input on and off. But a trip to Radio Shack will fix that. Took the pros at Car Toys about 4 hours to get ...

Pyrometer installed in the pipe running between the exhaust manifold and the turbo. Be careful drilling. Run drill slow and use a magnetic probe to gather up any chaff that fell in. Run engine at idle with a magnetic pickup probe in the hole.
