i totally understand that hell i'm going procharged for the sheer ease of installation lol and being able to do it myself

it really depends on your goals though

Do you have a 90* elbow or something then? I know the one I have doesn't line up with the stock blowers bypass. I would need at least a 90* coupler of some sort to get it to mate up.

I'll be there for that.

There is nothing like heathy competition. Sure would be nice to see some of the other options show up.

2.8" is the smallest you can go. Once again his dyno's are really old and hardly had any timing added not to mention the overall car was stock for the most part.

Not sure what he is running exactly right now. I had the 2.8" pulleyon my car when I had it though. I was cranking out 24-25psi on the stock boost gauge which is somewhere down in the "autometer" part of it way past 20psi!

Yeah the torque steer and how fast it gets to redline is altered just a wee bit. It makes it pretty hard to stare at that guage that appears so far away at that point. I managed to video tape the guage while I was driving and there is a video on youtube of it.
