    Any front mount I will get will probably be painted black. I prefer to create confusion in my victims/admirers (yeah... admirers...). This is the same reason any toss-off valve I fit will be a plumb-back design.

    I am not concerned too much about the cooling performance of the top-mount, that isn't an issue (if all else fails I can have a second reservior filled with ice water that the coolant can flow through). The issue is the pressure drop across it. If it gets any worse than 3psi it's too much for my tastes, but I don't know when I am going to get to that point.

    I guess I'm going to find out just how hard a VF10 can go...

    I'll dyno once before the new engine, once just after the new engine has been run in, and again with the big injectors and management modifications, on higher boost. The pressure drop across the stock water-air intercooler will be measured then.

    do what u want, end of the day shes ya car, itl look nicer with the fmic anyway, my taste anyway, post results

  2. same but car came with them fitted so yea no point removen them, also could try muffler shop for a silencer 2 be made, mates 6inch silencer was 90buks and thats in a small town,should be cheaper in a city, trade me sell cheap cannons with silencers also

    my advice (assuming your gt is a gen 1) is keep it under 12psi unless you have the supporting mods to support more, learnt that as a younger man winding boost up to 15-16psi with no suporting mods, would detonate and miss like hell and cost me about 3 engines before I finally started listening to the mechanics. These days I stick to the 12psi rule, I dont really see the point other than straight line grunt for excesive amounts of boost, take your car around a windy track running 12psi and see if you can "outdrive" the boost you're running....

    Interesting about the 12psi rule. I wasn't having any issues at 14psi, but then every engine is different. With that in mind, stick with the 12 psi rule.

    It's also depending on the state of the fuel pump and the injectors and also the quality of the fuel.

    thats why my injectors are getting checked on wednesday and we only get 95 octane in my town
