Sounds great. I'm really interested in tuneability for the most part and how you mount. A sound clip would be great too to satisfy the "ricer" curiosity side of things. 
As for the redine guys, piping should be an easy day. You guys have way more room, and piping is easy to do. Buy some mendral exhaust bends, mark and cut them to size, and if welding is necessary and you don't have a welder go to a local exhaust shop and have it done. It's not that expensive at all. Hell if someone bought the materials and provided me a redline to fit the pipes to, I'd do it for a good meal and a couple brews.

I believe our big Cobalt front mount intercooler would fit them too, so it really is just a matter of piping. We offer a complete line of silicone hose elbows and couplers, and can even provide mandrel bends. Cut / weld / play!
What's your preferred flava?

also bill where would u hook up a wideband to a turbo car? i never knew that . and also since your in chicago is there any price difference if i had you custom tune it instead of just sending me the usual universal tune?

Hey Bill,
When you do quotes, do you think you could give me one for a Level 2 with that fine ass sheet metal intake. I sort of like the idea of ditching the stock manifold since it's so damn restrictive. Also, what are you guys using to replace the supercharger pulley? Do you have a special idler setup? I might need one of those too if I go the sheetmetal intake manifold route. Thanks.

Our approach ditches the entire supercharger drive belt system and replaces it with a 2.2/2.4 style idler and belt. Super-clean and simple, and adds the complex SC drive system to the box of SC parts you'll sell to someone so they can bolt it right on their engine!

Def we could custom tune, and def it would be more expensive than the canned tune. Would it be neccesary? Probably not, but if you'd like to spend some dyno time with the car, we could play and see what we get with your individual combo. Nothing like some quality time to really nail that tune, and you'll drive away a lot smarter about your new turbo car too..I am very talkative!

Sure, we can work it out for you that way.

Not per se...this will be something you source yourself, but we'll share the details of this mod with our customers. Look under the hood of any non-SC car and you'll see the setup.

Are you talking about swapping the alternator out for a 2.2 one and what not? If so, looks like I'll be gutting the blower housing I have and making a fake supercharger.

You almost don't need a boost gauge...stock's fine unless you get busy (22+ PSI). Wideband is a great investment. Interceptors are just awesome. HPTuners is good for these, we use it among others...I've spent enough on $oftware to buy a new SS-TC, lol!
Oh gawd, don't lower yourself to that hokiness. I have a much easier path for you. Trust me on this one!

Sure, we can do that. A slight charge for custom color, but it's not much.

I can fab an idler pulley setup or score one from an undisclosed source if necessary. I was just on your site checking the regular pricing and when I started adding stuff up, it might just be better for me to get the Level 4 kit for crying out loud. Arghhh!!!!

She knows about the turbo and what I want to do, but she's sort of just avoiding my conversation with her about it because she hates all my vehicles except my Colorado because it's mostly all stock and an automatic. Something about the neck snapping and noise she hates. I just don't get it though because it makes me grin from ear to ear. 
Hey another question. If we ran the wastegate vacuum line to the factory boost controller and then back to the wastegate do you think we could use the factory ECU to control the boost in 1st and 2nd with HPTuners just like the stock blower? Just curious if this has been thought of yet.

you most likely would have spiking issues saying you leave the controller in the stock postion cause of the length of tube you would need
