Where did you get that bracket for mounting the box under the hood or is it a one off custom unit? Also did you find it annoying that the box has not place to ground the lights? I was thinking of getting the 8 gang unit just because it had ground connections for each output as well as the power.

would like to see how / where you mount the switch panel.

Was thinking of designing and printing something to fit nice

I bought a metal license plate bracket off Amazon and trimmed it to fit. I used the 2 bolts on top of fender for mounting using different bolts though. Painted it Rustoleum fire orange. Added a grounding buss bar to run all the grounds to it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0825QQ9DL?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details. https://www.autozone.com/miscellaneous-non-automotive/wiring-accessories/p/dorman-conduct-tite-black-universal-bus-bar/476883_0_0?cmpid=LIA:US:EN:AD:NL:1000000:ELC:19486091402&&CATARGETID=120054150001289080&CADevice=c&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjbagBhD3ARIsANRrqEt3XZl6MiQGNJ_8SPXsbUqnRIoiWX-ehBXjR4XghHvo-CHWSwm1-O4aAnD_EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

But it does depend on engine power. It's power that's otherwise wasted out the tailpipe, but it's power nonetheless. It's the same kind of energy that powers a turbine engine. It was genius to realize the energy wasted out the exhaust system could be used to power a compressor.


Which is the very definition of a non-passive device.

In some Heavy trucks From Volvo and Scania, they have a system named "turbo compound".

these trucks have "two turbines" in the exhaust .... The first is connected to the compressor (regular turbo) ... after that, there is a second one, that is connected to some reduction gears and sends power directly to the crackshaft ..... A way to use the thermal energy in the exhaust gas until its limit!!!



One other consideration I like to do is that the turbo is nothing more than a thermal machine that uses another thermal machine (the engine) as its combustion chamber to provide power, hehehe

Do you have an update about how this went? Looking to make this my next MOD and will most likely be installing myself (with help, if it would be easier for two people). TIA

I bought them from dennis-carpenter.com. They were a rivet install but I did not want to drill a hole so I cut the posts off and then filled the back in with epoxy. Once it dried I sanded it flat and cut out a flat sheet of 3M automotive tape to match the emblem.

You should be able to get these from Ford now as they are making them for the Heritage Unlimited Sport.
