From the size of this little blower, I'm assuming you will need at least two, to even feed the 3.2l motor.

Does this price include all the plumbing, piggyback computer, fuel injectors, BOV of come sort? What does the total package run about?
your posts seem uninformed more often than not? did you even read the article. all they had to do was bolt it up and take off. they ran the psi up to 10, which proved to be too much so they added an injector and felt very safe running 8. and no it doesn't include plumbing, psupuerti said that in his initial post, but it wont cost a whole lot to bend a few pipes. bov really aren't that necessary unless you are running 30+ psi, and very rarely are they used on a supercharger, which this in essence is. and what total package are you talking about? did you just make this "total package" up in your head. psuperati gave what i thought was a very accurate estimate, $2,200 dollars for what it comes with and the custom plumbing. another $800 if you or somewhat you know cant install it so $3,000 grand for at least 75 whp. i say at least because most of the cars who have had this product see 85-100 whp. so please dynamicS, read links, research, get some info before you post. it seems like every post you make is just pure opinion and isn't supported by research or facts.

p.s. one additional advantage of this thing is that it requires to batteries in the back. while this sucks for trunk space, think about how it can help balance out the weight distribution front and rear. anyone know what that is stock btw?
