ultimately.... if you car is lowered and you have to go over a speed bump. Dont buy the kit. If you love having a 4x4 then get the kit. Driving on the street was just fine but there was countless times I was cleaning paint off the bottom of the radiator and checking for holes. That was after I raised the car up too!

I hope rotaryworks is watching this thread, has to of atleast seen this. Seeing all the negativity.... Simple to change his design on the bottom neck. If that got fixed, I could actually see myself buying the kit. But custom neck placement necessary, on my slammed car, for install? No thanks.

Well I was already running a front mount when I made the switch. So there isnt much of a difference besides the boost came on alot quicker. I no longer own the car so I wont be doing any ducting lol....the factory oil cooler works you just have to have custom oil cooler lines made....yes something else that is not included in the "kit"

we do that all the time on the 6.3L diesels at work, they are notorious for having air pockets. same with VW's, the coolant tank sits lower than the lines.

not if you put it in a vacuum while filling it. gets rid of all bubbles and air pockets.....because its in a vacuum.

damn rotary-works should owe me some money then hahahaha
for the lower hose I used one of the flexible hoses from autozone with a clamp bolted to the frame to hold it in place. A better move would have been some sort of metal pipe with just small pieces to connect them.

My install only took two hours on fit-up, I used a reamer to slot some holes knocked the brace into place and bolted everything up. I don't have ps/ac so i went a different direction on plumbing. A $25 hks bov welded adapter pipe and the kit looks pretty sick. My only complaint is the radiator neck. and lack of coolant hoses. plus the fact I couldn't install my thermostat with their water neck... Add $ 300 for the intake compression tube and oil cooler and another $150 for -10 AN Fitting and hose for the oil cooler lines. Overall for a competent mechanic a good kit putting that you are willing to put in the extra effort to install it the way you want it installed.

I don't have any experience with fmic's but i would imagine the benefits of not stacking your coils and shorter plumbing will make a significant difference on temps and lag. Also with a v-mount each coil has it's own exhaust path and they are not competing for flow or compounding coil exhaust temps. IMO a fmic will decrease your radiators performance.
