Hello everyone. I'm an editor at CarTech Books (www.cartechbooks.com) and a freelance magazine writer (just Mustang stuff so far). I have a '96 Eagle Talon TSi and a '96 Mustang Cobra (I also post on TCStangs). My Talon is stock for now, but I'm hoping to get an intake, boost gauge, boost controller, and 3-inch exhaust this winter.

Hey, it's a pretty good book. I put a lot of work into it. Like most of our books, it probably has a lot of info that you'd find useful, and some that you already know. I suppose that just depends on where you are in the car guy's learning curve. If there's anything specific that you're looking for, let me know and I can check tomorrow.

Welcome! As soon as you do those mods, you're gonna want to add more... and more... You probably know that. I know people who have bought DSMs for beaters, but they still find themselves trying to add a little more power.

My goal is to stick with the stock turbo and intercooler. I really just want to make it as responsive as possible, faster than the average stock car, and be as fuel efficient as possible.

Well with the stock turbo and intercooler your limited to intake work, ic piping, exhaust work,and some other mods to stay in a reasonable budget.
The stock turbo and intercooler are the major drawback on that vehicle.
