Hey car looks great.

I had a quick question. I have always been told that the BOV goes on the cold side of the intercooler (which I have done on my cars) and I see you have yours on the hot side. Is that better or does it really not make a difference?

it's actually better to have it closer to the turbo as it relieves the pressure in the intake and helps turbo surge.

Hopefully this year will be yours, just need to stop that monster daigo getting favoured by the judges. What power is the mustang at? Just read in hot rod magazine that JRs is putting down 950+ HP!!, surely yours is somewhere near that?

Hopefully make it out to the states sometime in the future to see FD live rather than on the web.

Have you not fancied trying an EFR turbo??

both the mustangs make around 950 at the crank and about 850 to the tires..

I've talk to Borg Warner about running the EFR turbo on a future project.. but I'm gonna keep it OG with the FC.. I've definitely looking forward to running one in the future though!

I don't think I really went anywhere.. although I've definitely been laying low for some time now... It was hard dealing with the loss of the green car and wanting to stay active in the community... I think I've come to terms with it and feel like its time to make some more FC goodness... so yeah.. I guess it's good to be back.
