Umm I know theres a few write ups on people installing these into their xj's. Try searching google, I'll also help in searching since my Safc II is currently on the way

Hmm that sucks! I should of told you I can get you a garunteed working one lol. I got mine off supraforums..those guys have them alot and they are obviously working..and since they deal in like 20k+ worth of parts they don't care much about a 100 dollar Safc II.
I just got mine for 58 shipped.

Yup they sell everything cheap unless its a big ticket item! Thats where I got my HKS BOV for 100, thats where I got my tial racegate at lol. Sure its used stuff but 90% of those guys use their cars on weekends..so not much mileage on the stuff and abuot 99% of them keep their cars in the best shape as possible. So anything you buy is usually in perfect condition!

Awsome! My only concern now is water/dirt into the intake! I'm trying to think of a way to make a cowl snorkel with the turbo setup still..
I like to go splash in puddles so it could become an issue for me!
