are you not planning to install turbo b4 running car? thats a whole lotta extra work for nothing..
also it is better to boost a fresh motor then one with k on it. also, you will want to get a tune b4 this thing even touches a road in 1st gear. boost wil come quick and without a tune say by by to that nice new motor

I know it's only a supercharger, but I was concerned about driving a boosted car without a proper tune (I need one with the BBK) ... so Pat at Steeda provided me with a "safe" tune that is good enough to get me around without blowing up before I get it in for dyno tuning. It's already loaded into the Xcal and ready to go as soon as the sc is installed.
