Just installed mine today, this can is quality! Thanks to Boomba for the fast shipping and the beanie haha! I really like the mounting location, it's easy to reach and rock solid the way it's mounted to the old sound symposer hole. The can itself is of excellent quality and I like the fittings. I think two things have room for improvement, one I think Boomba should include new rubber pipe part to mate the OE style connectors, I had to make a slight cut in the current plastic pipe to fit the fittings and the rubber pipe that goes to the can. Not a biggie but it would make for a cleaner install, less chance of a leak. The second is the worm clamps, they suck haha, I spent the most time trying to get one together after I loosen it too much lol. Maybe bigger clamps? Overall I am very happy with the kit and recommend it to anyone looks for an OCC.

You will not be disappointed man! I ordered natural finish cause I figured it might be the most in stock ready to go haha, hate waiting for parts :) the install took less then 1 hour, super straight forward.

Awesome! Glad to see that you got it installed so quickly! Can looks great and right at home in your engine bay. I'll pass your suggestions on to the engineers!

When we ship to Canada it is weird. Some stuff gets there in 3 days and other stuff can take up to a week and a half. USPS does what they want.

Received my red CC and it looks pretty. It screams quality...kudos to Boomba for supporting our beloved FiST but I cant see myself getting excited for a piece of hardware that should have came straight from Ford. Im new to turbo cars and the first time I saw oil dripping out my intake I almost freaked out. That $190 could have been spent on a better more satisfying mod. My small rant is not towards Boomba at all, so thank you for supporting our car!

Are you still getting oil in the intake? Are you considering Boomba's other can? I've seen a couple of guys with this issue but when I looked at mine recently it was dry.

Oil in intake is no good, hate to say it but that usually points to turbo seals on the way out man.

Boomba,
How much would it be for this to be truly Plug and Play??
I don't want to cut my factory hoses, so would there be an option for Boomba to supply these with purchase?

I wish I would have known factory hoses needed to be cut.

Ok thanks. Thats good to know.
Question tho...how the heck do you open the can to empty out the fluid?
You can check the level of the contents of the can by looking at the sight glass on the side of the catch can. The way to drain the can is to loosen one of the mounting screws on the catch can bracket, slide the entire assembly up, and access the 1/8" NPT plug on the bottom of the can.

Plugs as seen here:
