the superchargers from the 3800 are probably more readily available/cheaper to use, i think.

a dasc is between 3-5k, depending upon condition and whatnot, and while fit and finish is superb, my end goal is to do a fi build as cheaply as possible.

my time is 'free for me', so it will mostly be a materials build. i have access to welding and materials as needed, so that is covered. the most $ i figure will be spent on the tune itself. that's just how it goes, i guess.

since space is rather tight in the ti, (even more so with an m5x), this will wind up being an m4x build. i had planned on doing the sean i have but it just will not fit....

it will be necessary to cut the housing of the supercharger, and i will need to fabricate therest of the inlet, so i do not forsee this (really) becoming a marketable 'kit'.

the ford m90 from the 3.8 supercharged t-birds may also be a viable candidate and require less modifications to the housing. i do not know for certain as i have not come across one in my travels.

i will commence with the housing mods soon, and mock up adapter plates to be welded. i also will need to modify the original lower intake (going to try that first). hopefully that will work out better than fabbing one up from scratch. cheaper, too.

so, yeah. lots of ideas, and suggestions/replies/input are always welcome.

sorry op, do not wish to hijack your thread....

btw, any chance of getting an engine bay shot of the drift ti??
