Cost me a hair under $2000 when it was all said and done. Pics will be available tomorrow, and a video as soon as I get a camera. I have a 91' automatic coupe with a racing beat header to a full 2.5" system that exits through some ebay muffs. I also have a custom cold air intake which will be pictured with the s/c. The supercharger itself runs at 6psi. After the first driving impression I can definitly say that it is on par with an srt-4 with an exhaust (rode in one the previous night). I'm happy with the kit and will be glad to share as much info as possible.

Yea. The kit was a good deal, I only paid $1500 for it. The other stuff needed to keep up for fuel is where the money is. I figure its something different, and is a good project. I don't really have access to a lot of things required for a custom turbo kit. This was just right for me. On a side note, I believe I may have more than 230whp (Once I convert to 5-speed), because of my header. We will see. I'm going to investigate local dynos soon.

Thank god my uncle owns his own machine shop. All of the pullies had to be re-done because of either being chipped or not the right size. It was a pain but definitly worth it. I installed the gauges today and pulled a healthy 7psi from 4k to the redline of 7k. The engine still wants to pull past that. Very suprising what a little bit of boost will do to a car.

the kit just comes with the pullies, and brackets needed to mount and run the charger. You need to supply the fuel. I'm using 2 550cc cleaned injectors in the secondaries, and a FD fuel pump. It seems to work for the perfect air to fuel ratio.
