Sweet looking setup. But how efficient is that intercooler gonna be?? The inlet outlet on the same side setup never sat right with me, make sure you get a gauge to check air inlet temp. best of luck :burnout: ---

The inlet outlet on the same side setup never sat right with me, make sure you get a gauge to check air inlet temp. best of luck :burnout: i dunno but obviously the concept of a backdoor setup would be to run a super short charge pipe but i def thought about that as well. the guy who i got the kit from made 524whp with this kit so im assuming it works. i am gonna get a guage though to make sure. habib its ford mineral grey. everyone thinks its green or gold but its actually silver. the thing im worried about is the rad hoses well the upper to be exact. the guy said it was a pain he had to use an fittings and stuff. hopefully a trip to first try will get it sorted out when its all ready to go ---

It is a pain to make it but after that you will be ok. ---

They make kits for Rad setups. You will have to measure your inlet on the block and the outlet on the rad and find a kit that will work. I think summit may have some or atleast get the brand name from summit then call them and get your kit custom made. ---
