Sounds nice :)

Within a month you'll want more power...its just how it goes. Any tracks close by to enjoy the power other than the street?

Let us know what kind of time you do on the 1/4.
Do you have any pre-boost 1/4 mile times to see the improvements... which I'm sure are not necessary to see the "improvement" LoL.

Congrats.... now I wish I had some boost too... where did I put that 4G's :P

This is the most beautiful PowerWorks build i have ever seen!!!

You gotta share the link on your full build up!! I don't think most of the guys will believe how much time and effort you have put into this build!!

And where did you find the Mustang Intercooler?! i want one bad!! the one that comes with the kit is kinda tiny. All i could find is aftermarket ones and they want $500+ for them

I bought it from a guy in Texas , came with brackets , pump and piping.
Surf the Mustang Forums and look for 03/04 Cobra kit.

Thats a tiny Reservoir... I think mine holds 10L if I fill it up all the way, I just keep 5L in it. But yours looks under 1L.

If you don't ever heat up the coolant I guess. The more coolant the less chance of heatsoak on things like a track day. For daily driving where your never really in WOT that much yes you don't need one.
