You can substitute the DIY intercooler kit for the discharge pipe kit. The discharge pipe kit only includes the pipe, couplers,clamps, and a BPV. A new bosch bypass valve kit costs about $75. However...IF you decide to use the Intercooler kit, you WILL need a big bypass valve. You can run the car with a small bosch BPV, but you will get compressor surge. The compressor surge is hard on the blower's impeller. At lower boost levels like 8-10 psi it should not directly effect the impeller wheel, but over an extended amount of time it will. A Vortech maxflow BPV sells for $230 brand new from that site. So in the end if you are going with an intercooler, it is worthless to buy the discharge tube kit..Check out the "accessories" section of that site and check out the selection of bypass valves they offer.....

My bonestock 2v engine had been through 2 years of NX 100 shot, 3 years running 8-12lbs vortech s-trim, got into boost daily while racing on the weekends, had 157,000 miles on it, and was running like new

yes, I am using the same intercooler that comes with that kit and its GREAT quality!

what was your psi loss? did it fit pretty well? did you have to cut the inner fender?

Well I am having a little trouble due to the fact that im still using the bosch BPV. I was seeing 9psi before, but now Ive seen a max of 6psi. Theres the possibility that im actually leaking some boost through the plastic bypass valve. SO I would expect a 2psi loss with a big intercooler like that. Definately DID have to cut a small hole on the passengers side inner fender so the pipe would pass from the I/C to the throttle body. Heres the link to pics of my install.....http://www.mustangboards.com/power-a...completed.html

So close.. I have a thousand dollars I've saved up from work... I'd kill for that supercharger. What would insurance do? Make you pay a billion dollars a month more? I'm seriously considering this kit.
