2006 f150 turbo build
Starting the turbo build on my truck. Only have the intercooler and turbo now but more is on the way.
76mm turbo. Not quite sure where it's going to be yet.
31x12x4 intercooler
Intercooler stuck in place but not mounted. I didn't get pictures of the bracket I started fabing up for it.

It's a 76mm, .96ar exhaust, .80ar comp side. T4 flange.
I'm shooting for 400rwhp for now until I get my built engine and trans in, then I would like to hit 550rw.
The engine is stock. Current mods are: longtubes (getting replaced with shortys or manifolds), roush catback, cat less y pipe, underdrive pulleys, electric fans, and Frpp hot rod cams.
I'm not sure what size hotside to run. Would dual 2.5" merged into a single 2.5" under the truck and ran back to the front be okay? I'm not sure if I can get 3" routed the way I would like. Any ideas?

Bracket I started fabing for the intercooler. Ran out of welding wire.
Had to trim a little bit to get the intercooler in.
Had to move the bar I the middle back an inch at the bottom for intercooler clearance.
Picked up a 5.4 3v longblock to build and tore it down.
Porting the heads myself
Exhaust side.

2.5 inch shortie headers on reverse sides of the engine may work. I'm not sure if hoses or anything will get in the way. 2.5 inch pipe to a t4 will support more then your goals. .96AR is a tad small on a 76mm on a 5.4. Although these engines only go to about 5000 rpm I would think a large 5.4 would have it spool quick and possibly taper off to soon. Might be a trial and error but I think like a 1.xx AR may be better. Also I'm around 450-500rwhp on stock trans and bottom end. Twin is over 475rwhp on stock bottom end. Set your sights over 400 the truck can handle it. On a built motor the only thing holding us back is fuel pump setup. Fore had a kit but only a few made it out. Custom fuel setup will be needed. Hot rod cams work excellent with my Whipple and I assume will with your turbo even though turbos are sensitive to cams.
I would think a 3 inch exhaust pipe could be routed by the drivers side exhaust header/manifold. There is a ton of room. Then it can cross over to the passenger side the way the stock exhaust currently does. I would run a straight pipe with gotts o2 mods (spark plug foulers on oxygen sensors) for no cats. My 47lb injectors still have room to grow on my setup. I would run them or 60lbers. Mass air setup means you can't vent to atmosphere as it will confuse the computer making it think the trucks lean.
