As you can see: the radiator hose is in the way, not too bad, but i would like to move it.... What hose should I use and where can I get it? It needs to 90 closer to the radiator...

I run a vortech setup and it looks like it would clear for you fine.

Looks like the vortech setup would work for you like BENTLEY429 said. There setup you just cut the hose and add in a pieace of pipe.

What kind of kit is that?? Details.

Looks like a SSAutoChrome kit from EBay. Like said above use a Vortech/Paxton hose pipe or use the steel flex radiator pipe from Jegs/Summit.

Actually, yes. I was very impressed. Especially with the cold pipes and the intercooler. they had no fitment issues, even through the fender! I did have to trim the bottom of the fan shroud to make way for the intercooler, but that was no big deal. the only problem I have run in to is mounting the wastegates and BOVs. would be nice if I could just bolt them on, but there is no where, so I have to fabricate the pipes for flanges. it's all good though, I am extremely pleased with the kit and if I had another stang to turbo, I would order the same kit in a heart beat...
