You dont need to do any front end mods to fit our front mount. I can also custom make you one for the same price. If you go witha custom one you will be able to choose how youwant to run your piping. I will be mor than happy to help you with your intercooler and piping. PM me a # that I can reach you at and I will give you a call.

There is a huge advantage to running our IC's over even a spearco IC, All the Bar and Plate IC's are only 75% Efficient if they are the right size for the application. There are a lot of guys that run IC's that are way to big for the turbo application and although it is efficient you will loose tons of boost running one that is too big. Ours are 98% Efficient will a very minimal boost loss, at 22 psi we only lost about 1 LB of boost. Just something to consider when others start telling you what you should and shouldn't do. Just keep in mind most people that give you thier opinions are not really effected if anything goes wrong.

I will be more than happy to help you with your SVO. I look forward to hearing from you soon

Thats awesome man! Good luck with the build. We can custom fabricate any parts that you might need. From radiators and intercoolers to turbos and overflow tanks! Keep posting updates on the build, I cant wait to see the finished project!

Excellant to know. Probably going water intercooler because of lack of room to run intercooler piping. Putting in AC, Powering steerin using turbocoupe rack, turbocoupe column. If I could only get bodyman in gear he is building trike kits for the larger scooter. Started another project while waiting for him. 3.2SHO in 93 vert. I don't want to steal this post. mgman75/93 mustang converiable - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
