Also, I have the Steeda strut tower brace. I wonder if it'll clear that. Can you mount that thing in a different spot, or is it one spot only?

Just to be clear, the Horespower by Hermann kit fixes the oil spray completely. The Kenne Bell fix that is included in the kits is the one that still sprays oil.

Another thing that should be noted is that the oil that is spewing from the blower is the blower's oil, not engine oil. The blower has a limited capacity and if it runs dry, which I imagine it would using KB's fix, or no fix at all, then you can imagine the consequences.
Herman's returns the oil to the blower, thus, no loss.
If you have any unanswered questions, call Don at Modular Madness. He can help you out.

I highly doubt it. The Steeda strut tower brace can only be mounted in one location. Have you purchased it yet if you haven't you don't want it. I can go into details why, but a strut tower brace has minimum if any gains on a mustang platform due to the suspension configuration. It does provide some rigidity reinforcement which is good especially in a vert or coil-over applications, but both Steeda and KB product offering are inadequate to accomplish this. You will be much better off going with a good 4-point k-member brace like the MM offering. If you come to the SVTOA meeting today you can see a couple 03s with screws and see the room available.

what is this oil spray issue everyone is posting about with the kenne bell blowzilla?
It sounds like a major design flaw to me.
My eaton doesnt piss oil all over the engine bay and its seeing 18 pounds of boost.
Does kenne bell inform buyers of this issue?Or do they let you buy it and find out on your own?
Has anyone contacted kenne bell personaly about the problem to get a fix in the works?
Seems to me that i woul dbe very very pissed off if i spent 3 -4 grand on a blower to find out it shit all over my engine bay.
I was considering making this purchase but the more i read the less im convinced it would be a wise choice.

Then you will see your options for yourself. Yes it is possible to have the unit mounted differently.

If there was ever any doubt to their terrible customer service. You can read horror stories of the man himself at KB (jim) yelling YELLING at customers who call for help.
KB will never fix this problem, god knows I hope none of you ever need replacement parts for your blowers. As someone contemplating buying this blower, I suggest you do your research at several mustang websites (definitely not just here, as many of the 03' guys are totally new to the the mustang scene and dont have 10+ years of experience with the aftermarket players)
HBH's kit looks awesome, and he can charge whatever he damn well pleases since KB has everyone by the balls and won't lift a finger. THe point is though, KB if it was a decent company would fix the issue and there would be no need for hermans kit.
Anyway, /rant off.
