Sweet. You will dig it, mine helped harmonics quite a bit. Cannot imagine that with a balanced rotating assembly.

Well hopefully be back on road my mid January if all can go well. I’d like sooner but i can only work on on weekends and trying to not cut any corners. Still half to pull steering box and trac bar bracket back off and clean and paint. Seems like the list is never ending plan to run all the trans lines in an line and run a 6.0 intercooler for now.

So far it seems like powersteering is gonna work nicely. Used fsuperduty hydrobooster with 05 6.0 powersteering lines and one hydrobooster elbow from a superduty 7.3. On the hydrobooster on the inlet side to adapt the 6.0 pump line to it.

Well so far the obs solutions intercooler Mount kit looks like the intercooler pipes are going to line up. Very nicely with the csd t4 kit have a bunch of little things to finish up but I’m definitely getting there.
I’d definitely recommend the intercooler kit to anyone wanting to install a intercooler kit. I’d say it would work perfectly with a set of Csd intercooler pipes for a e99 spyder.
