Has anyone found or modified an upper strut tower brace for our 2.3 Turbos? Seems the aftermarket industry has overlooked this platform when it comes to this. I plan on using a FMIC so the stock intercooler will not be an issue
As of now the Steeda 351 brace has peaked my interest as a place to start - add a couple of either solid arms or ones attached to heim joints that reach back to the firewall
Cheers

The primary points of contact are the cam gear/cam cover at the front of the engine, and the FMIC tubing. I made a custom one a couple decades ago when I was trying to figure this out.

Do you happen to have a picture? Did you go around the front of the engine or just overtop? Lots of the new Mustangs simply go across the top, so thinking along those lines with a couple of bars going back to the firewall

I went over the valve cover right in the "valley" between the cover and cam gear. In hindsight it would have been better to go around the engine to avoid the tight clearance with the hood/cover/gear in that area. I've got a pic somewhere but can't find it at the moment.
