Default Finally Installed My ProCharger

After buying it and having it sit in my garage for almost 2 years I finally gathered the testicular fortitude to install my ProCharger P1SC. I worked on it for a few hours each night while my family slept. It took a few days working like that to get it in, but I was able to get everything in. I never did anything like this, much less alone, so it was sort of a PITA. It wasn't as bad as I was thinking it would be though. While I did this install I also added in a Moroso Oil Separator, Screamin' Demon, LiveWires, new plugs & I also Seafoamed the car prior to install. Next up I'll be ordering and installing an Auto Meter Boost/VAC gauge, Aeroforce Interceptor w/Fuel/Oil Pressure & WideBand AFR. The plan is to fit them in two of the Roush Vent Pods. Not that this is over that 8.8" rear w/4.10s that I bought around the same time is going to be going in sometime before spring. Suddenly it doesn't seem as daunting...

If anyone wants to pick up my JLT CAI and SCT Tuner I will be putting them up shortly. Thanks to all who helped me and answered my noobish questions! Below are some pics of the carnage!!

That's awesome bro! Cudo's to you! I wouldn't have the courage to install the procharger myself. Once everything is installed and complete, be sure to take some vids and post. ;-)

That is awesome! How much was the kit and everything? Seeing others do things like this makes me think I might be able to as well!

Thanks, I appreciate it. It was rainy all weekend so I didn't get a chance to, but I will soon. Next weekend I have a three day weekend and I'm going to install my gauges. I picked up a mechanical cobalt boost gauge and an interceptor with fuel pressure & wideband sensors. I'm going to install them in roush vent pods. Hopefully it'll be a decent weekend with some sunlight and I'll take some pics.

I'm on the fence about my exhaust setup now more then ever though. After adding a supercharger it seems louder and the drone from my combination of no cats and a pair of Boomtubes is almost unbearable for me.

Yeah, that's the point of no return lol. You would be surprised how easy the bumper comes off though. Once I had it off I knew it wasn't going back on until I was done!

I was able to get the full Stage II kit for $4100 shipped back in 2010. I sold the tuner it came with for $220 so its not that bad for $3880. The only problem I really had was that I had to reclock the housing on my P1SC headunit to get the piping to line up right. I did change up one thing from what the manual says, I added in a Moroso oil separator. That will help keep some of the gunk from getting into your supercharger or its filter. For some reason I had posted two pics of the vacuum distro piece, I removed one and put up a pic of the catch can I used. It has a drain valve on the bottom & I put a hose on it and zip tied it to the inter cooling piping under the car. This will make draining it out very easy.

Before I got this car I hadn't even changed the oil on any vehicle I owned. Just about everything I've done I did by myself. My wife helped me mount my spoiler, but with our two year old she doesn't get much garage time anymore lol. The manual for this was detailed and the help I got on forums like this made it easy to do. Besides the fuel injector swap I was more nervous when I did my headers and exhaust.
