I was wondering if there are any pics of the contour or new ideas arise. I saw on the cougar site that the cougar going in on april 17 is that when the contour projected to be completely finished. I hate silence forgive me for be anxious. Also Chris is there going to be some threaded ports on the headers for a ET sensor so that we can watch our temperatures for better adjustments. I would like to see this on the headers with a plug so there could be option to remove and add sensor. I the oil returns going to go to the pan or adapted to the oil cooler?

Pics are coming. Header fabbing is the longest process. EGT sensor is do-able. As far as the oil, we have a trick we are going to use that will suprise quite a few people.

Is the turbo for the Zetec just a pipe dream now? Or is development continuing even though Terry is dropping out. Or am I completely mistaken.

There have been soo many rumors flying around lately...I don't know what to believe. First an intake/headers/turbo is being developed, now it isn't, etc, etc, etc. frown

I'm kinda glad that the SVT guys are getting a turbo. ...lucky bostiches...

Terry is not dropping out of the turbo business. Quite the contrary. Once he gets ready to release more info, everyone will know. He's just changing gears.

Chris, do you plan on plumbing the EGT into the headers? Will an EGT sensor and gauge be available as part of the kit?

I'm sure a bung can be put in for an EGT sensor. Hell, maybe a wheel tach eek smile

EGT would be an option with the kit if anything. If people request it, I don't see why we couldn't do it.
