prochargers come with an intercooler, and they have an internal oiling system, no need to tap into the engines oiling system.

I'd buy a Paxton Novi 2000 or a Vortech S-trim. The Novi is the better choice because of it's potential but at a slightly higher initial investment. Just be sure to factor in a good enough fuel pump, new MAF and injectors. Don't run an FMU.

My vote is for an intercooled procharger (P1SC) If I ever get the money for one
