This is an issue for me because I have a tial bov for my intercooler so I need something to plug the recirc hole.

Have you tried contacting Fullrace?

So that begs the question, why did Ford do a recirc system then?

The real reason? NVH. If the car sneezed every time someone let off the fuel, people would be flocking to the dealerships thinking it was screwed up. Having the system recirculate isn't going to keep the turbo spooled in any significant or measurable way. The stock turbo is tiny and doesn't need help spooling.

You can get 1" vacuum caps or furniture/chair feet from somewhere like Lowe's. I forgot and left my cap off once while swapping intakes. I stopped by Lowe's and got a chair foot...problem solved.

Thanks Juben I'll stop by lowes later. Just installed my intake, now just need to get my intercooler installed! I added before and after videos for anyone that was wondering about the sound difference.

Thanks for the sound clips! Maybe it's just me but I hear a difference compared to some other CAI systems available. Keeping the filter away from the wheel well to help avoid hydrolock is a big plus too

By the time you'd hydrolock one of the other intakes, you'd already be on top of the car waiting on a boat rescue. None of them are in a position to compromise the engine lol.

So I've noticed 2 things with mine that may be normal or not - I just don't know this car well enough to say. First, I hear a lot of noise now when I'm near a wall with the windows down (say in a drive thru) that sounds like clicking - is it just the valve noise I've heard that these cars have? And would the intake make that more noticeable? Also - sometimes when I let off the throttle and drop boost, I get a mechanical clacking noise. Are these normal? I can't 100% replicate that last on demand, so I haven't been able to get a video of it yet, but hopefully someone here will know what I'm talking about.

As I've said before, I've had Subaru turbos for the last 11 years, so those are the only sounds I'm really familiar with, lol.

The clicking noise you're hearing against a wall and such is the High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP). It sounds like a diesel, but it's perfectly normal. The intake won't affect that noise.

These engines are very noisy but nothing you've described sounds like anything to be concerned about.

hey atlas -- please open your intercooler box! The blockoff cap that you are looking for is inside that box, with the tial BOV. feel free to message me with any questions

I added before and after videos for anyone that was wondering about the sound difference.

great videos, thanks!!

Got it today, installed it in about 30 min... First, I hear a lot of noise now when I'm near a wall with the windows down that sounds like clicking

this is what your direct injection fuel system sounds like. it is operating at very high pressures, so the clicks are audible. nothing to worry about!

I love mine. Sounds awesome. My gas mileage has gone down 4mpg because I can't stay off the throttle now. pppssshhhhh hihihihihi my new favorite sound.

Looking for a new track car soon. Any new info?

I am not looking for outrageous HP application, just better throttle response and around 420hp/430ft-lbs. Usable durability.. for track use. The GT350 is my first car of choice, but comes with a hefty price tag and a long wait. The RS is also a top contender, but the shorter wheelbase might not suite me well.



How close are you guys from your objective of:

"It is to acheive a well-rounded street-track car powerband - with the the fastest responding, most-area-under-the-curve 500hp possible, from a 2.3L displacement high VE twinscroll turbo engine."

Any new dyno plots?

Thanks Geoff I found it, you guys don't mess around with the packing peanuts.

Any news on the DP and exhaust?

m4udin - thanks for the bump. We began shipping the first production parts this week. Feedback is excellent so far. We have DP and exhausts finishing production on tues/weds ready for shipping next friday. They will be listed on our website early next week with photos and some sound clips once this production run is completed. I personally love this exhaust, we spent a ton of time tweaking it to get things just right. I hope you guys like it too!

Any presale pricing like the CAI?
