Mach-box DYNO (Updated 6/30) Photo!
Okay so i will give a little background on this. I purchased a kit about this time last year, maybe a little later. The kit for the most part is great. There were a few little issues with stuff not fitting. Such as the exhaust did not line up with the down pipe and some of the piping was hitting the bumper also. The down pipe and exhaust was resolved last year. So this year about 2 months ago i decided that i wanted to clean every thing up and i had a couple new additions that i wanted to do. So here is my list as best as i could recite back of what I have purchased and done.
Blow through TT Turbo setup (not entirely sure on the turbo size), with .5 Bar spring, front mount inner-cooler and piping. (Piping and inner-cooler painted 08 Ford Edge Burnt Copper)
3" down pipe with 3" CXRacing exhaust.
650 cc injectors
AEM Fic (hardwired)
Glowshift boost, oil pressure and AFR gauges
NST SS shift linkage bushings
Comp. Clutch Stage 4 Clutch (Got it from someone here)
Optima Battery (Relocated in truck, 0 gauge wire ran with distribution block)
White LED swap
NGK One step colder plugs
5zigen Fireball wheels (Sandblasted and Powder coated black)
Black grills and black Spoiler
The start of a 2 month process...
Stuff all over the place.
My first job.. Relocating the batter and running 0 gauge wire through the car. Not as bad as it could have been.
50' of wire. We only used about half.
Me griding away at some bracket that I decided i didn't need.
Battery behind the rear seats. Its a little more cleaned up since then.
Distribution block.. Yea no more battery in the engine bay.
Next fun process.. the transmission. Boy was this a lot of fun...
Car ratchet strapped to the roof rafters.
Transmission apart.
New and old clutch. Both look brand new, but one looks a little different...
Picking up my freshly painted piping.
Up close of the inner-cooler. The color has a really nice finish in the sunlight.
Putting the piping back together.
Picture from the front.
I will finish this thread tomorrow. I get my wheels put back on the car tonight along with an alignment. So i will try to post up some pics of everything finished. I still am planning to do a little color on the exterior of the car. But i need to save some cash first. Also i am hitting up the dyno on the 30th of this month. I don't expect anything crazy high. I have a pretty conservative tune. Thanks. Any feedback would be great.

Well its actually really a dark metallic orange. You really have to see it in the sun. i will take some better ones tonight. I plan on wrapping the color on the car too. so when its done it will seem more together, color wise.

Looks great Mach-box! Have you considered painting your valve cover to match? I've seen orange caliper paint at R1 Concepts. Orange calipers would look good with what you've done.

Yea i wanted to incorporate the color somehow in there. Originally i wanted to paint the wheels black and add the color in to them. But i just ended up having them powder coated.
But i still might somehow add some color to them. Thanks to Fred i found some orange caliper paint. So i am going to see how that looks. I know have a satin black caliper paint kit for sale if anyone is interested. lol.
