The fpv unit seems to a bit thicker and I wonder if this will fit onto normal xr6t'sSuggestions will be full appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had originally thought it was the piping that caused the leaking.So do u have to buy the parts separate or do they come in a kit???

Unless you want to remove your whole intake, you can just replace the front section and leave the original rear section which runs behind the cylinder head.I was going to do this myself but because of no play time situation with new baby and toddler I got Autotech to do it who agreed it was the best way.

Originally on the options list you could get an Auxillary Oil cooler for about $200. Ford stuffed, bigtime. I ticked the box but received nothing as all ZF's come with the smaller yellow dot heat exchanger. I complained, as a few others did and got the whole Police Pack free which included the oil cooler/heat exchanger below and bigger ZF heat exchanger. Now, I repalce them every 2 years as the alloy is low quality and I don't want my coolant mixing with transmission fluid any time soon.There is also an sandwich oil cooler/heat exchanger as part of this pack between block and filter which comes part of the Police pack on FG and is stock on F6.
