Sort of

One that was a close fit and I did some "carving" to make it fit. So far I don't know of any direct replacement.

Trust me. You DON'T want to do it. Unless you are an expert at carving plastic perfectly without screwing anything up. I thought I was pretty good at stuff like this because nothing is done unless it's perfect. I just had to cut my losses and call it, and I hate doing that.

Bringing the car into the shop to get the kit fabricated and installed here in 3 hours.

Let's just say: meth, fuel pump, injectors, full custom 3" exhaust, full 304L stainless everything (everything).

More info to come once I'm approved to release the info. Will take pictures of the shop etc today.

156whp/129wtq on the first pull on an AWD Mustang Dyno. Not bad for just one pull on a Mustang dyno.


This is where it's getting worked on

Why is so dam hard for companies to color match plastic body parts to the metal body parts let alone plastic to plastic. They better figure this out.

D3 said they are expecting higher results than from what we've been seeing in other turbo kits, not only from the additional parts such as fuel pump/injectors/meth/full exhaust but they are very confident their tuning is superior. I wouldn't be surprised if we see 260whp at 4psi.

From what I've heard from my fellow H-town gearheads, you couldn't have gone to a better tuner in Houston. You edged me out on scheduling for R&D but it'll still be nice to be one of the first in Houston with this kit. Expecting sick results!
