    Thanks, those subarus can be pretty nasty too.
    Yeah Ive looked at it and have stolen a couple ideas. I have thought about relocating the battery to the trunk and running through the battery area. It's a magnum performance T70 w/ .68 turbine housing, its basically a master power with a polished compressor housing

    Target is 450whp. Also need to rear gear to a higher ratio maybe like a 3.25 from my 3.80.

    450 will be easy at lower boost levels , but you may have to do a injector swap in your powerjection.

    we maxed out 8 50 lbr's on the stang at 14 psi

    Not much done lately wrapped the headers and crossover, made the oil feed line, and removed the oil pan to weld in the return bung. Please ignore the sketchy fuel line thats going to be fixed this weekend

    Got the intercooler mounted today, started thinking about the piping and can only come up with one solution. Cut a hole in the inner fender well use a U bend down to the intercooler.
