Fitting turned out to be not as long or hard of a job I thought it would be! This equipment fit real easy with just a bit of trimming, and piping was as simple as 'push in and tighten the clamp"! The only mod I did to this gear was TIG in a 1/4" BSP thread underneath the cold side piping so to retain the factory boost gauge sender unit as I want to keep the factory look in the cabin.standard setupAll the small piping replaced, that's a lot of crapMaking adjustments to fit the UBP. It didn't feel right cutting into my car at allRapids setup lifted into placeAll plumbed upNew piping setupAt the same time I gutted the APS cat as the core had shifted and crushed at the back. this turned out to be a bad BAD decision.It was limped it to Simons workshop at Xtreme Ford Tuning to have the walbro intank fitted and be tuned, on the initial run he realised that it was over boosting to around 18PSI with 344rwkw!!!!!! (I have factory internals so this was bad)I then had the bigger wastegate mod done to get it down to safe boost and still had overboost issues (thanks to a lack of a cat......), but after Simons mates fitted one of his XFT high flow cats boost was normal and he managed to pull 336.5rwkw on the rollers!!! On the rollers at the XFT workshopNiceIm real happy with the ute now, its real strong on the road and I have tyres that need changing already.Cheers to Simon and Mike and the guys from Extreme Ford Tuning for helping me out, I really appriciate it.

Guest Guests Posted 24/12/08 03:41 AM Share Posted 24/12/08 03:41 AM (edited) Well done Simon, good to see you getting some top results with the Rapid kit. They seem to be one of the best BFB kits on the market at the moment! See you at MV with a beer in your hand Edited 24/12/08 11:26 PM by Dagabond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
