Obx explorer headers that will be changed slightly.
The new intake tubing will be mandrel bent T6 aluminum 76mm painted black
I plan on building a custom filter housing so it seals off the hood and draws fresh cool air from the factory place in the rad support. The hole will be made larger. And the tubing will funnel air in.
Rewiring the electric fan off a toggle switch instead of key on position it has some feed back and doesn't kill the engine immediately there is a 3 second delay.
I dont see any reason to use MLS head gaskets or head studs. If I need to take the heads off for any reason or if I want to get aluminum heads the booster will be in the way.
Im probably gonna end up breaking the M5ODR2 transmission so im gonna build a T5 next summer and use a aftermarket hydraulic throw out bearing.
The rear is gonna keep the 3.73 lsd but im gonna either 4 link or put a panard bar back there.
