I did a Wilson Elbow with Sullivan's lower. This is great for Air to Air apps.

i used a 1/2" plate of aluminum (10"x12" i think) drilled for the bolt pattern of the eaton, bolted in place of the blower, with a wilson 90 degree elbow on it and a fox mustang throttle body.

Something like this. This is the MMR sheetmetal intake hat. It replaces your stock Eaton and midplate. They retail for close to $1000.

I'm selling mine $800 obo.

what are your plans.. using stock IC or what?

skidmarkracing · 02-17-2009, 10:55 AM

Dean, many questions arise from your question.

What truck are you doing
what motor combination you going to run
how much hp you plan on
2v or 4v
air to air or air to water

there is 16" of straight section after the turbo before the u-bend, the maf will be in there, probably with 10" before and 6" after.

How did you do the ABS delete?

DallasGT01 · 02-21-2009, 08:49 PM

prob didnt.. just move it..

brainbypass mod · 02-22-2009, 11:36 AM

I deleted the abs. Just took a couple fittings and a new line from the front port on the master cylinder. I used 3/16 fittings, a tee for the front, and a coupler for the rear line.
