Installed hood struts, Intake, fuel rail, throttle body and fuse box covers. Replaced all fasteners with Scott Drake billet ones. Still needs a cleaning and have to relocate my catch can.

Before.


After.

I have it but was waiting until spring to install it. I've got another 800k to go before my clutch is broken in. If the weather stays nice and the roads dry I am hoping to get it in in the next couple weeks.

Where did you end up buying your Procharger? I am finding that with the Canadian dollar at par with the US, I am saving big $$ by buying parts online and then picking it up just over the border.

Post some pics up when you have it in. I am probably going to wait until the end of the year to pick up a Saleen charger since that is when most of the vendors have their sales.

I will post pics for sure. Might start next weekend. I looked at the Saleen ones but they just didn't have the power the procharger does. Plus I like the whine of the procharger.

I was having issues with the hood liner rubbing the intake cover so I ordered one of these.

Here it is installed. Starting the procharger install tonight.

Awesome car! I am a Camaro/Firebird guy from WAY back, but found a great deal on a '09 Black GT. So I guess I came to the dark side, and your car is definately inspiring me to dive back in to modding!

Front end ripped apart for FMIC install. Hope to have it running by days end.



Everything out of the box. I had looked in to box before but the is literally 100's of parts and didn't want to lose anything.



Bracket installed.



Head unit in.



FMIC.



Bypass valve.



Complete.



First start still with the stock tune.

Here a video after it warmed up. Blow off is not as bad as I was expecting.

WOW, that looks great...you've had a busy spring! I can't believe how much work you've done, it's been a cold week and here you are outside doing an s/c install.

I really like the interior led mod, how much work was it to convert to the blue?

If you will excuse my late entry, how / where can I get the leather e brake boot you have? I absolutely must have one!

It was a bit of a pain but as long as you are good with a soldering iron it;s not to bad. Took a couple hours.

Getting hesitation and sputtering when boost starts to build. It's one thing for Procharger not to tell you you should get colder plugs but the bare minimum they should tell you is that you will have the lessen the spark plug gap. Ordered a set of HT0's and will gap them to .035.

Hopefully the plugs will help. Did you get a custom tune? The one I got was off on a few things and my local dyno shop tuned it in perfectly.

By the way, would you happen to know if Jim010 is still on the forum? Just wondering if you still talk to him because I have left him a couple of messages about the eBrake boot but no reply. Just wondering..... Good luck with your incredible Mustang.

I only know Jim through here so not sure. Yeah the plugs will most certainly solve it from what I have read. I am just using the canned tune right now that came with it. I have an appointment Apr 21st for a dyno tune.

Well, between the plugs and the tune I am sure you will be all set. Enjoy!
