I'd say go for a slim fan, should work good :)
Turbo Project Update - bigman - 12-17-2007
do you even have AC. if you dont i have a single slimline fan that will work great. also ive read that the Blaast kit eliminates the AC anyways. lemme know man.

works out well actually. Seen lot of nice DIY setups this way.

I'll prolly upgrade to some kind of shorty header later but I am not running a high boost untill everything is in working order. I gotta start paying off some cards.

the WORST way to modify your vehicle.....buying everything on your mastercar/visa and then start paying off that minimal paymets
i hope you're better then that

If i was on a budget id pick up the obx turbo manifold off ebay they go for under $400 last i checked
Turbo Project Update - SmokeBCBuDZ - 12-19-2007
Oh no nothing from my kit is on my card that was 3 months of solid saving. Although my suspension is another story. That and Christmas.

I think its just a mtter of time. Sure, it can handle it, but for how long??
Turbo Project Update - ZX3_2NV - 12-20-2007
Its just the flow of the Manifold its not the greatest and its small its fine for a DIY but if your looking for great results its not the best choice for the time and money you need to customize it you rather just buy one as for the tranny it will hold but the cables and other parts of the tranny might not
Turbo Project Update - D-Dub - 12-25-2007
from what I have learned is the tranny can hold crazy amounts of power its just the clutch is garbage...
Turbo Project Update - Mike - 12-29-2007
from what i know , that tranny is "borrowed" from the cougar and i believe the v6 made 250 hp or a little less than that , so apparantly the tranny is good for about 250 hp and no more .... obviously the stock clutch will turn to dust , so aftermarket clutch is the way to go , infact i have a brandnew in box centerforce clutch that i dont need .... if you do then cool let me know
Turbo Project Update - ZX3_2NV - 12-30-2007
yaa im running over 250 whp and its still holding
Turbo Project Update - lintlars - 12-30-2007
The factory manifold is a peice of crap as far a flow is concerned if you look at the collector if you can call it that the runners all exit into each other one of the poorest designs I have ever seen, it may work but as far as performance is concerned it is far from it.
