If all goes as planned(keeping my fingers crossed) i might have some dyno vids up in the next couple of weeks. Getting my upgraded sc unit tomorrow. Lots of other goodies are being installed now.

Edit: Thanks again Oscar for all of your help and insight this past year!

If you have a decent amount of tools, are doing this in your garage, are pretty good at working on cars and have a buddy to help it would take a full day.

The hardest part is by far relocating the hard brake lines. There is very little room in that area and the lines are very difficult to pop out of the white clips they are in.

Depending how easy it is for you to remove them from the clips it can take a day or maybe 2 if you're having a really hard time.

ditto. it took me and my friend a total of 36 hours over a 2 day period. of course, i had to make sure everything was absolutely perfect each step of the way. if i had to do it again it would probably take us about 12 hours straight.

Leonine, how you been man? what other goodies you got now? I told the rest of the crew we need to have a meet as soon as it starts getting warmer out Hit me up soon

I was in the $800-ish range for my install from "Gettinafit's" shop(shameless plug!)

If I had the time, tools, and know-how I would have done it myself but Lance is the man!

k so I have read through this entire thread and I have to say I am hooked. I was going to buy the kwsc that is for sale in the parts trader but before doing so I wanted to read up on the kit. I think its great what it does in conjunction with its simplicity.

However, after having my comptech sc s2k I can say I am a total boost junkie and I know if I get a base kit I'm gonna want more boost a week later. That being said I see that the high boost kit is still in development and that there is not firm release date but, can we get a pre-order going? If it is going to be something that takes another year to develop well than I'll pass and upgrade later but if it is just a matter of fine tuning the new additions than I'd like to get on a list for the high boost kit.

I'm very excited to be joining this rather small group of owners that are successfully running this supercharger and can't wait to enjoy what you all have been enjoying.

So.......is a pre-order a possiblity?

I know right. If any of these "surprises" they have are for the AT Fits then thats going to resault in me having a empty wallet.

K so next question....

I plan on already running the reflashed ECU set up that is listed on the website for $995. I have a race header and full exhaust. I'm also planning on running the Weapon R intake manifold. Will the reflash be sufficient to run that additional modification or is there an option to have the reflash done custom to the modifications we are already running?

I'm just wondering if I should plan on running the reflash or plan on using an emanage.

the intake manifold leans out the car even further than the race headers or cat delete. yeah you want to contact kraftwerks to see if that is even make a custom reflash for you.
