After 4 weeks of waiting my supercharger finally arrived today, It looks awesome but unlike all the pictures it dident have and open cold air intake it had a closed box like on the gt 500's? Is it different because it is for an 2008 or did I get a wrong part? I ordered it from my dealer through ford racing.

I believe the 2008 whipple s/c come with a closed box cold air. No you did not get a wrong part

yes different intake setup for the 08's. to meet some EPA Democrat Bullshit standards for carbon trapping Whipple could not use an open filter element to maintain the 50 state legal application.

When I was considering a whipple, I remember the techs at whipple asking if mine was an 08?...I said no, '07... because the whipple tech said that the 08's would come with the box instead of the open filter. I remember asking him if I did have an 08, could I simple order the kit for an 07 and he said yes...

I bet you could call whipple and simply buy the conversion or something to get the kit converted to an open filter. (you will have to get it tuned then...)

And for those dudes here who are surprised by things like this... this is the result of electing the most radical administration in the history of our country. (although this legislation has been here before he was elected) This guy is bought and paid for by the unions, trial lawyers (poeple who want more litigation to earn their keep), radical homosexuals, radical environmentalists (the modern day home for communists), government workers... and everyone else who relies on the "Government" for a paycheck.

The House of Representatives just passed this "Cap and Trade" bill which is going to tax power companies, factories, and anyone else who emits carbon dioxide as a byproduct of doing their business. So... these companies are just going to voluntarily decrease their profit %?... no they are going to raise their price... and who will end up paying more? you and ME!!!!

News flash : carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.

You may ask why then? because the government simply needs MORE money to do MORE things to get MORE people enslaved to the government to keep them in power...

sorry to rant and rave... could not help myself...

I'm right there with you. Hopefully those in the Senate wont be so blind, but their track record with UHbama isnt great. It will come down to a every individual having a small tax for exhaling carbon dioxide, lets kill all the lovely trees these idiots are lying to save.

Looks good. Still like how clean the setup is. Don't know how I feel about the boxed cold air

No I dont like the boxed air filter look at all but it runs good any ways and it is very clean. And it is a 10 lb pulley at 10 to 11 lb of boost.

Looks great; but I must say I like the open cold air much better. Have fun with the new found power.

LOOKS GREAT!!! I know you said 10-11 psi... but does the pulley have the size written on it? I think it is supposed to be the 3.25 pulley.
