So I'm really thinking about X-charging my car, either that or going with a pro charger system. I wanted to know how easy it really to do at home. I mean i have some mechanical know how and have a pretty dam good set of tools at home here. I also read on the x-charger website how "easy" it is. Any feedback is great.

thanks

Did it in the driveway by myself. Just followed the instruction manual. Pretty straightforward. Didn't have any problems.

Do you know if they have the instruction manual on their website so I can read it before I buy it

did the vortech by myself without any problems, just alot of alter stock bolts/hose relocation etc. Looks like the x-charger replaces the stock v6 manifold and possibly relocates the alternator. Pretty basic stuff. Just don't break your belt tensioner when taking the slack off the belt for the new one lol.. I did that before, not fun.



Great kits for the v6 they have, very impressive..

Same here. Approx 7-8 hours in the driveway if you have moderate mechanical skills (like the ability to swap a water pump). There are a fair number of things to do, but none are really hard, and the manual is good.

You can see the manual here: http://www.explorerexpress.com/image...Mustang_CA.pdf

(Relocating the alternator is not required with the "X" btw)

your in cali. come by the install party we are having in Downey on the 22. i have installed a few. and there is really nothing major about it. it just takes time and the abillity to follow instructions.

I would come but im nor cal not so cal and their is a cali kit right i think i saw one but i notice the instructions that where posted they say not for ca

Mr. Ugly

The Cali kit uses a GT closed airbox. The HiPo uses a CAI.

The tunes are different, and I think the air inlet hoses are different.

The rest is the same.

Can I get the hipo kit and then but then swtich over to the closed box when I need to smog

Yes, indeed.
