You won't make real power until you get the fake BOV sound maker installed.

Clearly it is to power the dual 18in subs and the 16 tweeters and mids!
Sweet, deal here, cant wait till this is done. Goes on my list of things to do should my SC fail catastrophically.

That supercharger is replacing my M45 come 100K miles when it "fails".

I read this bit and thought "i am toatally going to do this". Then I remembered I probably wont have the money to do it till I get out of college four years from now.

Funny thing about this...I recently graduated and had more disposable income when I was in college than I do now (having since graduated). Lame.
Sick setup as usual. Can't wait to see what power it produces/costs.

All thats left is the intercooler which is getting welded as I write. Then it's just putting it all back together. The blue prints and fixtures are done for all the brackets and hoses so production pieces can be made.
Should be back home this week I hope.

It's the pipe to feed the air box since the TB is moved higher, allowing a smoother unrestricted path to the supercharger
