Ugur Member 27 Member For: 13y 8m 7d Posted 15/10/13 11:13 AM Posted 15/10/13 11:13 AM hey peeps, I was just wondering a couple of things:1. how much should I be paying for (roughly), for a relocation to the boot2. is it worth it or is it better transfering it to the right hand side of the engine bay and why?3. what do most people prefer to have today, like the benefits and drawbacks?Hope to hear back

I wanted to keep it in the engine bay and I only wanted to run a PW stage 2 kit so it was doable. But if wanting to run a PW stage 3 kit with the bigger piping I think the battery has to be moved to the boot.
Ugur Member 27 Member For: 13y 8m 7d Posted 16/10/13 10:38 AM Author Posted 16/10/13 10:38 AM to be honest I think to have a relocation to the boot would be cheaper? however in WA I dont know if there legal have

It sits at a 45 degree angle to allow for the bigger pipes but it ain't cheap.

I'm all for doing things myself, if you got access to the gear/tools it wouldnt be hard to knock up your own brackets for the other side of the bay or relocate it to the boot. I was just lazy and bought the kit lol

But good to hear it all fits now. Edited 16/10/13 10:58 AM by Bonjaz

I think all the kits on the market are pricey for what they are! Try make your own bracket. I was going to buy a factory bracket from ford and see if I could spot weld it in. Not many diy guys when it comes to this mod
Ugur Member 27 Member For: 13y 8m 7d Posted 17/10/13 08:33 AM Author Posted 17/10/13 08:33 AM hmmm to be honest I am tempted to make my brackets and stuff but I dont have enough time :(. I have Exams and cant afford to spend time on it where as I could be studying. Has anyone made their own brackets in the forums?
