SVT focus....I think the mr freeze is for higher boost it seems.
I'm leaning toward the Snow kit as of now, I signed up for their forum so I;m going to get some information on there once they authorize me hah
And yeah the belt is a b*tch, my friend made a tool for it, but apparently you can just put a pair of vice grips on it and that should work.
the flex pipe was cake compared to the powerpipe, that thing is all kinda wedged in there, but it works

I have a dual nozzle set up after the blower, I see very very cool temperatures, somewhere around 10* above ambient on a hot day.
I also run 60/40 methanol/water, not 50/50
I believe it started out as a Snow Performance Kit, but I kinda did my own thing.

+1 on a large FMIC. No refills, and a decent kit can be had for a few hundred bucks. I have heard good things about the mr. freeze kit. It is boost pressure operated so there is no electric components to worry about or anything.

For an open track car, yes, definitely. For an autocross car, absolutely. For a drag race car? hell no.
You guys are right, in almost every respect, a FMIC is the superior choice, but there are a couple ways in which it isn't. First of all, weight.
Depending on the geometry of the car, you might have to add in alot more metal/support than was there originally.
Also, you're adding tubing. Not a big deal if you're going for torque numbers, in fact it helps, but if you're going for higher hp numbers, then you want the shortest distance, which you won't get using an FMIC.
For a drag car/street/strip car, I STRONGLY suggest water/methanol injection. It's safe, clean, and it bumps octane. I've never had a problem with pinging in my car under boost, because under boost it see's something like 105-108 octane.
for any other type of car, a fun road course car, FMIC is the way to go. If you ever think you'll be having fun in the twisties, get the FMIC and don't look back

Check out that kit, its top notch quality and great results from what ive seen. Jive is running this kit and he loves it.

Thanks for the help so far guys. I don't want to do a FMIC right now seeing as how I have to replace all my piping, blower pulley, MAF and start from scratch on tuning. Just not feasible for me right now. Looks like I may just go with the mr. Freeze or an electric kit. Figure if I don't like the mr.freeze I can always buy something else!
