    Hey guys most of you now that I installed my BFMIC...
    It took from 10:30pm to 4am

    The story goes i was tired of it sitting in my house staring at me so i got a buddy (Josh) and one night after work we started on the install...

    This is how it looked like when we started

    Good job... looks a lot better.

    Now you have to do a boost leak test to ensure the hotside nor coldside is leaking.

    Well i asked TXHP and someone else as in front of me.... I was tired of it looking at me in my house.. lol so i said the hell with it and put it on!!!:usflag:

    Yes sir I did a boost leak test and surprisingly no new boost leaks... i do have one coming from the Mopar surge valve! it only leaks about 2 psi @ 6k... but thats what is next on my list is a hsk blowoff and hard piping:miner:

    And yeah i do feel a HUGE difference up top and so did this V8 mustang that called me out lastnight!! ENJOY

    First was a 40 roll

    Looks good...too bad you need to take out the crash bar. The BFIC look so much better, but I'm to scared to drive around here with out the crash bar.

    Not handling wise. My buddy has a BFMIC and the front end feels loose as hell without the factory crashbar.
    Does look good though!
    Which BFMIC is it?

    Bwoody and a few others have a replacement to stiffen up the front end and still run the BFMIC.




    OP looks great man good job.

    True that. They offer a crash bar for it.

    Bwoody = eBay intercooler too by the way. I remember there was a group buy going on when they were on srtforums. And someone had hard evidence that it was the exact same thing as a particular Ebay intercooler, and Bwoody never declinded the claims and the groupbuy was cut off.
    There were more informative posts but this is the only one I quoted in my progress log.

    They were selling them for $285 shipped for the 2nd run intercoolers in the GB.
