The description you have on the FMIC is that they will "fit other applications with modification". Has anyone tried or confirmed this on an XR4Ti? I'm just trying to decide if your kit is a good starting point, or if I would be better off getting a universal kit and having it welded together. In any case, I'm trying to save a slot in my budget for one of these on my T-bird as well. So if your kit will work on both cars, I might try to grab two of them.

The main issue with our FMIC on a Merkur is there isn't enough room in the nose for the large IC without removing the condensor. If you use a smaller IC that fits in the nose, then just get our tubing/couplers/clamps, it is easier to make work. I've had customers do it both ways but they never come through with sending pics of the end result.

Ok, I have yet to actually go pick up my Merkur (its not drivable so I will need to tow it), so I'll get everything pulled apart to see how much space I have and what intercooler I'll need to go with. Getting your tubing sounds like a great start. Sure the lengths will be different, but the overall layout I would expect should be pretty close, since it is the same motor and most of its dimensions are the same. Its just the car thats different.
I will definitely need a FMIC for my T-bird in the near future. I'm just trying to get the car back together so I can get it broken in, which I will do with the stock computer and stock intercooler and the boost limited to stock levels. But obviously my potential performance would be much greater with your FMIC kit, and I will be able to better take advantage of the PIMP that I got. Its getting pretty close to finished.

Yeah, the main difference between the two cars is that the radiator support and nose of the car is closer to the engine in the Merkur.
