Question on Air/Air Intercooler install

[Strick9]

I have a 98 GT, what do I need to do about my steering line that runs in front of my radiator and my reservoir support bracket that sits on top of my radiator?
Thanks.

i cut some of the metal above the powersteering line so i could move it up out of the way

and for the support bracket, mine wouldnt clear my piping so i took it off and cut it and flattened one side and mounted it on my powersteering reservoir

Your front bumper look different.... mine is not tubular.

Looks great. Thanks.
I noticed that your MAF sensor is on the output of your S/C. The original install that I had for my S trim from Vortech had me place my sensor in the orignal place just behind the filter. Does this matter?
I'm thinking of going with the CxRacing kit that they sell for the Ford. Does anyone know if this will install okay on a 98 GT?

i made that one. i did not like how much the stock bumper support blocked my intercooler and saw a member on mustangforums made one like that and decided to make my own.

im running a blow through setup, so that allows me to place to MAF after the blower and vent the excess air into the atmosphere, where as you're running a draw-through setup. and my intercooler and piping is the CXRacing DIY kit from ebay for $218 shipped and it works great.

I ordered my DIY intercooler kit from CxRacing this morning. Is there an advantage to having a blow through setup?

i've heard its easier to tune(my tuner dialed my tune in, in about 30-45 min) and you can vent the air from the bypass valve into the atmosphere.

I just bent my lines out of the way a bit, but a guy on another forum said he asked around and was told by a tuner that you could just cut the lines right after they come out by the radiator, then conect the two with some rubber tubing. Will look clean and as long as you dont do any serious road course driving, that will be just fine.
