Did you pickup any audible turbo whine? I can't hear mine in the cab, wish I could, short of installing downpipes, likely never will.
With the windows down a little bit. Had the intake on by itself for a day and picked some up but now the exhaust covers it.

Catch can in, FedEx didn’t follow my delivery instructions and missed them for the intercooler.

For anyone one thinking about a catch can, it’s not hard to install but I did have to remove the passenger side charge tube 1. Because I dropped some shavings in there and 2. Don’t push the grommet all the way through👎🏻

Alright, after a week of vaca, everything is in for round 1, except for the tune. Whipple accidentally sent me a mustang intercooler so, I wasn’t able to get it in before I left. The guys at Whipple were great though, I got the intercooler back out to them and they sent the correct one once the tracking information had posted.

The Whipple intercooler is huge! I had a little difficulty getting it in on my own due to the tight squeeze but, it fit in there perfectly once I got the tubing back on and the intercooler bolted back in. I ended up taking the tubing off the charge side and pre-installing and getting all of the hose clamps lined up for easy access. At the same time, I put the turbo smart BOV on, she psssh!

Did notice some dirty oil in the stock cooler and charge pipes, curious to see if there is a difference now that I’ve got the catch can on. Will inspect when I do the charge pipes.

I did notice a little power increase with the intercooler, I’d say more so than exhaust and intake, maybe a combo of all 3.

Tune will probably go in sometime next week.

Looks like a fun build! Have you been to the track at all?
