Will this Whipple Supercharger fit?
I have a 2007 mustang GT/CS Manual and I found a sweet deal on a Ford Racing Whipple supercharger that i am extremely interested in. The issue is that it is from a 2010 Mustang GT, also a manual. I know that the engines are the same (4.6L V8), but I know there has to be some kind of difference because whipple sells the 2010 model seperately from the 05-09. What other parts, mods, etc would need to be done in order for this to fit in my Stang, if even possible.? Any help would be AWESOME!

Only issues I can think of off hand are:
- CAI for the 2010 is different. In the 2005-2007 Whipple kit the CAI was the open filter cone design, in 2008-2009 they had an enclosed airbox CAI (mainly for emissions reasons), and in 2010 they again used an enclosed airbox but designed for the newer body style.
I'm running a 2007 open one on my 2008, so it's not a huge deal.. just has tuning implications.
- The water cross over on your 2007 might be different then the 2010. I know my 08 has the newer style cross-over.. not sure when Ford changed it. It's not too hard to convert the older style to the newer style, there are a few threads floating around on doing it. If you have the older style and do not want to convert it, I have the older style cross-over that came with my kit I can sell you, but the part isn't that cheap.
- You can't use the ProCal tuner FRPP provides. I have two different vouchers for a FRPP Procal and neither are any good sense they're for a 2007 GT and mine is a 2008..
They said something about the CAI being different causing tuning issues and the ECU codes being different.. Basically I just had to get a custom tune / tuner instead of using the FRPP one.
That's all I can think of right now. If you have anyother questions shoot me a PM. I've been running the Whipple on mine sense 2009 and have installed it 3 different times now (various upgrades).
