Well, they better damn well know what they're doing if they're charging 100 bucks an hour.

Took me and my boy 6 hours to install my S/C and I didn't have to tap the pan. But we also stopped for beer breaks and lunch....and then we played a joke on my friend.......you know how it goes......

Powerdyne's are self contained.....no tapping of the oil pan......I know let the flaming begin....but to come to the rescue of Powerdyne....it really isn't a bad unit.....had to alter stuff (ream holes) but I like it.......and so does my car. Plus I have a 3 year warranty (if the internals blow up) and I live like 1 hour from where they are manufactered. Hooray for BOOST.

The newer prochargers and PowerDynes are self contained.

He means with a air hammer, rather than drilling a whole and getting shavings in you oil pan.

If you punch a whole it naturally makes a lil lip on the metal and allows to able to have more thread on the pan. If that makes sense.
