when do you take it back.

also can you give us a rough cost

The boost kit (boost box + rising rate regulator) was $ 1386 + $ 300 fitting and Dyno.

3" Mandrel bent all stainless exhaust & high flow cat (Turbo back) $ 1287 + $ 50 fitting.

Freight was $ 50

All up $ 3108.00 incl. GST and fitting.

I will be going back tomorrow morning (Saturday) for final tune.

Being an auto, Mark estimates about 200 - 210 rwkw (173 rwkw measured before mods)

Driving it, well what can I say B)

I think it now drives the way it should when it leaves Ford!

Sound is a little more determined, turbo comes on much stronger, but also much smoother, giving the feeling of thrust right through the entire range.

Bottom end feels a lot stronger, and when I plant my foot, well it's TAKEOFF :D

Worth every cent in my opinion :thumbsup:

Today I have added my own cold air intake, which runs an additional intake pipe from the standard airbox, through under the headlight, to suck additional cold air from behind the front bumper.

To get the shape, I purchased a 400 mm long piece of 100 mm dia. PVC sewer pipe, which I then heated and shaped into the correct shape.

The flange to blind rivet the pipe onto the airbox, was formed by heating the end of the final flat pipe, and then flaring it out and cooling it to hold the shape.

The best part, the pipe cost me $ 3.80, so all up it's probably a total cost of $ 5.00.

I am attaching some photos if you are interested.
