I found this on ebay today. I past it up because I have heard more bad then good about these. I have only heard of one guy installing this intake has anyone else and if so any better results.

Yes, I read that one. He still had stock internals. He didn't swap his pullies and didn't rev past 6500rpm. Not a good example of what it will do> you should check out this thread.

she has it but no before or after numbers with it...for all we know it could be costing her power.

I look forward to see what it will do on yours.

Thought I'd share this. If this isnt enough to convince some of you that this thing is a POS, then I have a used turbonator I'd like to sell you, $500 firm.

*no, I dont really have a turbonator*

Wow thats even worse then the guy gaining 0hp....so far Stangnet is the only forum to be anti this intake! Every other forum i post on people are still sticking up for this POS! I guess we are the only ones who know Chinese Castings don't meet US standards and never will.

There is a thread on modularpowerhouse.com where they installed one and had to weld it because it had a crack and leak. No word on if it made power but not really a QC indorsement is it?

I'll take a Mexican made product supervised by Americans over a Chinese made product supervised by Chinese any day. Fords Mexican plants are manned by Mexican workers but are run by Americans and still meet the quality just at lower non union inflated pay rates. Chinese plants are staffed and ran by Chinese who don't give a rats ass about quality and have no need to put in the correct QC measurements because they don't adhere to US manufacturing standards which in regards to metal are very high.
