i can notice the difference in the low-mid end not really anything in the top but theres an old road and from the stop sign to the same mailbox i gained a 3-4 mph. this is with 5 runs on the old intake but just one with the new and all the kinks arent worked out yet so as soon as its 100% ill run it again.

Possable to stick a vortec on the end of the throttle body there? or does the turbine run perpendicular to the belt drive?

thats the VAP kit.
yes it is possible to s/c with the windstar and it works rather well. you needcustom piping from the tb to the s/c. if giung s/c you can even keep the stock airbox because the s/c kit will pipe to it.

looks really good. it seems like ive seen some other windstar intakes that use a really cheap looking intake ducting to the manifold. yours looks much better.

is the intake pipe supported by anything underneath, or is it pretty firm with just the rubber pieces and hose clamps?
