There's something that always got me curious. It says the x bolts on with basic hand tools, what exact hand tools would you need to install it? (couple wrenchs and screwdrivers?) Size's of parts too if you. And how hard would it be to install an intercooler for these? mechanic skill needed? Thanks ahead!

Basic hand tools ... plus torx bits and a crows foot for the EGR tube. The manual has a list of the tools you need and how to make a couple "special" tools to make your life easier.
And a good torque wrench... which many casual car guys don't have. I used a digital one from a buddy, and it read very different than my cheapy "bending wire"torque wrench.
Wondering a few things:
1. What's the most amount of miles anyone has put on their car with the x-charger on it?
2. What's the highest octane anyone is using with the x-charger(what's the usual octane tune for it)?
3. Any ideas on how much more the intercooled version will cost over the 2 models now?
Thanks ahead!
You can install the x in an otherwise stock car. I would suggest a driveshaft if you plan on dragracing and the usual suspension mods for traction if you like to take offlike a jackrabbitalot.
I have stock gears and an auto. When I installed it, I still had single exhaust as well. I must admit, when you got on it, the single exhaust was LOUD... I have since added FRPP Duals, and it is much nicer. So... you don't need it, but I would suggest you get duals.
You DON'T need
1. New gears
2. 8.8 rear
3. Major suspension mods - although GT takeoff sways are CHEAP if you don't have pony package
4. New brakes - although GT takeoff fronts are dirt cheap
