some other things recommended that you do and i dont know if you did allready,change the spark plugs and coils(what ever they call them),iat relocation kit,and look into getting a better oil line, the one that came in my kit leaked no matter what i did and then i broke the insert, so $70 later for the inser, i had my freind make me a new line from his work(has a machine to make hydrolic lines) and teflon paste its all good,i also got a new oil pressure gauge because i was told stock one wasnt to good.

your 60% done? what do you have so far? haha. I don't think you could be anything OVER 10% without the physical super charger in your possession haha. but that's just me.

I have 60% of PARTS, haha, but if you factor in time and install, I would say im somewhere in the 40% range.


O/T:
when upgrading injectors, do you need to upgrade fuel rails?

so you started a blower build without the blower? I would have started by shopping around for a good deal for the entire kit. You have close to a grand invested in this, you can find an intire kit for around 1500 used... just saying what if you run into a good deal with a blower and most of or all of the parts, your gonna have to pass it up cuz you just want a head unit? I was in the same boat you were except I started with the blower. The only reason I went this route is cuz my buddy owed me money and crashed his GT so I got a crazy deal on the head unit. All I need now is the bracket assembly, install and tune. I feel like I'm still a mile away. I just wanna say F my mortgage and wrap this blower install up and buy suspension while im at it lol (wishfull thiniking). looks like you got decent deals on some of the stuff tho. good luck man!

I never thought about that this was suppose to be something that took around 6 months but its moving way faster than i expected...i didnt have $1500 to drop all at once really all i have into this kit is about $200 or $300...ive paid for this stuff by selling old stuff like my tuner,cobra r spoiler ect..
