This thread was a helpful visual during the whipple install, here's how mine came out.

The above (@Gee) is a very clean setup. I like it!

Thanks man, appreciate it. I definitely took my time and was pretty finicky about how hoses, cables, etc were routed. If you compared this with my first power adder install (Nitrous Express wet kit on a 99GT), I've come a long way, haha. Really happy with the end result, much of it owed to info and pics on this forum.

Took a few pics today that I liked.

My Kenne Bell 2.8LC with 10 RIB Kit (ATI-Damper non OD) and a Meziere electric water pump. I also run an oversized Adler aluminium-watercooler with a Reische thermostat and an upgraded VMP triple pass dual fan ATW-Intercooler.

Engine Internals are untouched apart from an MMR OPG & CS ; MMR Gen X Billet chain guides ; Primary and secondary tensioners ; Pickup Tube and the head cooling mod.

Makes a healthy 720 ehp / 580 tq (ECE-Corrected axle dyno) on just 8.7 PSI (largest pulley ; Longtubes with HJS-EU6-cats and 3inch exhaust). I run a custom-tune for our European 102 super unleaded which should equate to 95 octane US.

I posted this in another thread, but love it so much that I'm willing to do it here too!

Gotta be one of the if not the cleanest install I’ve seen, setting the bar high. Did you consider getting the Whipple in magnetic as well to match your coil covers? I ask because I’m considering the Gen4 later this year and would like to have it all match. I apologize if you already answered this but did you do the coil covers or did you have them done.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. When you're faced with plenty of time during a long winter in the northeast, you have the option to take your time.

I've since added my own custom sound tube to bring a little more whipple volume into the cabin (may add it to the DIY section once I get sound clips) and although you can't really see it (if you look real close under the "e" in the whipple badge on the side of the supercharger), there's a vacuum/boost reference connection going into the drivers side port on the lower manifold. Another couple of things I wanted clean and hidden.

I didn't consider having the blower paint matched. With all of the black already in there I thought it would look fine without spending the extra dough. I bought the paint matched coil covers from JLT back when they used to sell them.

Thanks for a great reply, I may pick your brain on some does & donts on cable and hose management this fall once I make my decision. Look forward to seeing your custome sound tube if you post it.

Upgrades and datalogging have been done for two weeks. Time to get out and enjoy the money I spent on upgrades that I didn't need.
