Excellent guess. You win. By the way it's a 31x12x4 3" in 3" out intercooler. Just like the OBX alot of guys are running.

Works and fit's like a charm. It's not polished though.

I just thought it would be fun to see if people noticed the little things I've done such as relocating the coil packs to the strut towers and lengthening the wire harness. Or turning the injectors around and running the harness under the manifold for a cleaner look. Or maybe even the way I cut the factory radiator support in stead of cutting it clean off and welding on a square rod.

What radiator are you going with? That turbo looks like it's still going to be really close.

Intake or exhaust? Intake is a Victor Jr. Exhaust are Edlebrock ceramicoated shorty headers.

I'll let you know if su_maverick ever decides to ship it. Or reply to my pm's for that matter. He's only been online 5 times since my pm's and it's only been two weeks so let's see what happens.

Let me know how that works out as I'm probably not going to use a resevoir unless I have too.

I really like having the harness under the manifold. Makes it a ton cleaner. I just may have to copy that.
