[QUOTE="SVT GI, post: 16405759, member: 81611"] Thank you, I have a build thread in here somewhere you can check out for more details. I thought about converting to COPs but after some researching decided against it since I was able to relocate the coils and wires. Yes I used standard plug wires for these cars. You have to be mindful where you mount the coils, if too far apart you’ll end up having a couple wires that will be stretching and will be tough to “tuck” for a clean install. For the intake lid, yeah I just cut off the EGR, welded and smoothed it out. I also plugged the vacuum hole on that side. I only have 2 vacuum ports on the passenger side that feed my vacuum distribution block for all the turbo stuff. I’m running a dead head return setup. Fed by -10 to a Y block and two -8 feed the back of both rails. The cross over in front acts as a balance tube now to keep both rails equal. I’ve built return fuel systems on cars where the regulator was post rails, whether in series or parallel. All work and support the power, the dead head return keeps the fuel cooler because it returns the unneeded fuel back to the tank before it circulates through the rails. I was skeptical of this setup initially, but it works. As for the 96-98 ECUs, they are actually better than the 99-04 except 03/04 Cobras. I cut my tuning teeth on 03/04 Cobras way back when. Standard 99-04 ECUs have stricter hard limits and have a tough time keeping things running over 7K RPMs. I’ve had no issues with 03/04 and 96-98 Cobra ECUs at 8-8500 RPM. I have inputs I want to integrate, boost controller, wideband tuning, like the Coyote’s, 2 or 3 step feature, fail safes, flex fuel sensor, etc that can’t be done with factory ECU. Like I said, I want to keep all the factory dash stuff. My car still has A/C, etc. Ive been emailing one of the engineers at MS just this past week trying to ensure this was going to meet my needs. He said they are very close to releasing. I just asked him the expected release date question, I’ll update if he answers. [/QUOTE]
