PRJ's were a thought. im just trying to find someone with them that might be able to get me deminsions of them. I need that to measure how far/close i am to the intake and if can use them properly without any modification to the rail itself. i would hate to spend that kind of money and not be able to put it to use.

As for the cowl issue, i either would need to lower the K member somehow, buy a new K member that is built 1 inch lower, or cut into the lower portion of the cowl and risk losing my windshield wipers. right now im thinking of dropping the K member about .5-1 inch, and cutting a little out of the cowl to make the extra room. that way i know i can keep my wipers. Of course it sounds easier than it really could be to get done, but i figured i need to start somewhere and be a little optimistic about it

motor mounts are already pretty small, if i were to modify the stock mounts, i wouldnt be able to gain .25 inch.

i have the one video i posted with the picture. the only other video i have of the car is a pretty crappy, it running the 13.32 at night. you can hear it but video is blurry, and short

Why not just do a FMIC?

never looked into it. could you link some pics/info of M90's with one? i wasnt quite sure how i would pull it off.

Depending on the space you have on top, which doesnt seem too be too much I would look at getting a hat and putting on top or depending on on your fab abilities putting an inlet between the snout and rotors.

ive seen the aussie guys do a front mount, but i dont have that kind of room, and it would cause a little more work for me than i want going that route

why is that?

with your car i would run cam only.

Everything will be added, what else does my car need to intercool it?

im already running an XP cam.

Put a 6.0L Diesel IC in mine, so with time, patience and some $ it will fit. That setup is very tight though, but it can be done. If you use the M90 case from a Ford it would be a lot of work on the TB end, but it would just require swapping out some pins on the front of the case to add the GP snout. Too much work for what me, but if you are interested that is an IC route.

Ive seen that intercooler routing and have looked into something like that. i might have more issue though with the room i have and the fitment/fabrication needed. i didnt want to get that far into it. Thank you for the input.

But if it is a waste to intercool an M90 with a cam, i would like to know before i spend $1000 on one
