Well got some pics of the blanket and the bumper on.All i need to do is get the saleen spoiler back on.Notice how the dill hole painted the car with the spoiler on So i'll clean where it goes off good and reinstall it,i was thinking of leaving it off?Not sure yet?So as of now i need my injectors,header wrap,oil relocate kit,and i'm refabing my alt bracket that came in the kit to make it work on the driverside,get plugs,and the MAF electronics since my LMAF and my PRO M one i just bought wont work so if anyone needs a good maf i have 2!peace

I wish I had a H/C/I setup like you do. Lol. I see what you meant about the holes in the bumper, but oh well. Tell them it's a race car, not a show car.

Does the turbo blanket fit pretty well? And have you found a oil relocation kit? I can't really decide.

I found this one for $50 on Summit.

Trans-Dapt Performance Products 1113 - Trans-Dapt Performance Remote Oil Filter Relocation Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com

If you wanna run the car before getting a relocation setup, the filter you need is off a 2005 Ford Escape with the 2.3L.

really neccessary to drill the bumper like that? not enough airflow?

I like the black turbo. Blanket looks good. Put the saleen back on, it looked good.

How are you planning to modify the alt bracket?

What's up with the MAF problem?

That fuel pressure gauge by the turbo gonna melt?

Not sure?I've just seen a few guy's drill them like that here.Well i think it will line up on the driverside but i will need to drill out the big hole alot more,well i have the flange to hold the electronics,but i dont have the blow threw electronics,all i have is a LMAF and a PRO-M. No the gauge is a good distance off the turbo it's the blanket being so big that is all thats touching it.peace

Even tho it's for 42's couldnt i get it reprogramed with my chip for 60's?I have 42's now and those will be to small for my set up.So i'm guessing my LMAF or my PRO-M electronics wont work as blow threws? peace

I don't know, but I think it would just be easier to buy 60's and a another blow-thru already set for them wouldn't it?

Would this be the provision to drill and tap the housing to run my vac line off? And also can i remove the housing with it already bolted to the car?Would all i do is unbolt the bolts and slip it off,cut and dry that easy? peace
