And IIRC, it was on the intake side, and not right on top of the UIM.

Since it's a turbo kit that is not designed to use any intercooler at all, I was planning on going thin-core. Besides, I figured that a little cooling is better than NO cooling, so having something like what Dean Joyce has is obviously not my plan, not that the size would help any with such a low given PSI range anyway...

So are you going turbo or nitrous?

If I make my decision based on my budget (the angel on my right shoulder), nitrous it is. If I base my desicion on what I want (the devil on my left sholder), then I'll be boosting. I just closed on a lake front condo and here come a tsunami of bills so I see myself spraying by fall. Still contemplating the way each setup would go. Let's see how things turn out...

I'm just curious.
Because it won't handle the power levels. 
Aka... *Ker-SNAP* If you think you have problems eventually under "normal driving condition"... just think of adding 100HP to it...and see how that lasts. 
Actually, if you don't go drag racing every day, the CD4E should hold up just fine for 250 hp or so - especially if you have an added cooler. 300 hp would be asking a bit much. I absolutely ABUSED my Contour V-6 tranny with a heavy foot EVERY DAY 'cause I just loved how that car drove - never had any tranny problems except for an overfill DAO error. (Dumb Azz Operator)
IIRC, I think the biggest problem with a turbo on the V-6 ATX was simply lack of room for all the components because the dang tranny is so much larger than the MTX. At least that's what I got out of the various threads on the subject. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Excellent idea. It also happens to be great for me as I have one lying around in the garage. All I'd need is the plumbing and to sneak it in the door past the Minister of Finance ( wife )
