S/C installing now!

just got back from Miami to drop off the ol' car for the S/C install. So I should be picking it up from him in about 5 days. I cant wait to pick it up. Im sure its going to be pretty quick. I also have a H/B pulley and custom larger diameter pipes to add some more boost. Well see how it turns out and of course how it sounds.
ill post a review when I get it. Till then Im as anxious as it gets!!!!

Congrats Now comes the hard part, playing the waiting game. Don't worry though it'll be worth it.

Glad to see you went with the Phantom Gauges after all. Looking forward to your impressions of the car as a whole once you get her back.

Also, don't go and FLOOR it as soon as your pull out of the shop, although I'm sure you'll want to (I sure did). Drive around for a few miles first. Make sure there are no fuel leaks, make sure the ESM is soldered on, and be sure the belt is properly aligned.

But his shop "should" check most of that stuff before they even make the call for him to come get it.

That takes a week!?!

Hmmm...

I had the S/C'er, b-pipe, gauges, tranny cooler, mugen t-stat, fan switch all installed in a day.

Hopefully them taking their time on his install will pay off. It's a blast to drive the car with boost.
