351W - 4WD Bronco app (SC/TC)

[Tom Cloud]

RE: my query about SC or TC for Ford 351W.  One of you sent me
the number of "CarTech" (210-308-8464).  I called, sent e-mail,
and below is the latest in our exchange.  Thought some would
be interested.

This goes in the "information" file for me, as I still have
the engine install to do.  I do need to find out why he does
not recommend the ProJection, and what he does recommend
for fuel control.  Also, what am I going to have to do
as far as ignition control?

What would an estimated turnkey install cost?  When I get it
running, I'll drive to San Antonio and he can look at it.

How can one turbo work?  Wouldn't that put an unequal
backpressure load on one side of the engine?  Does that
mean I would have to go back to single exhaust?
