I looked into piecing together a kit but the price ends up being a lot more expensive that way. Not to mention stressful. Don't know if they are anything like Vortech where you can download the enitre part list per application but I would look there.
Good luck.

The guy who started this thread might be trying to sell his Procharger kit soon, pm him and see what kind of deal you can workout with him...

I just finished piecing together a P1 kit, just need to do some research on what you need and dont need. Also saved about $3500 in the process.

I started by buying a head unit and made everything else except the bypass valve. Tubing, brackets, intake, etc.

It was sort of a pain in the butt, but I have a custom setup and wanted it on the other side of the motor, and no one made that setup.

Once I got the bugs out, it works great.

Did I save any money? Probably not, but I learned a lot in the process and have a unique setup.

If thinking of going extreme or doing a custom intercooler you might as well go this route b/c the stock twins and bypass valve won't cut it. You'll end up doing a custom kit in the end and better off piecing right from the start. Good luck!

I parted everything together myself with upgraded fuel, upgraded fmic and upgraded by-pass valve. I routed all the piping myself and put on a better flowing 90 with filter instead of the restrictive hat the kit comes with. It ended up costing me close to what the kit cost but I made about 150-200rwhp more than I would have made with the kit. Unfortunatly it was too much power for my stock block.
If your planning on keeping everything the same as the kit, I don't see any point in the hassel of getting all the parts seperate and paying for multiple shipping charges and for what, to save maybe a $100. The only reason I see parting it together yourself would be to buy better, upgraded parts.

I just upgraded to EPPs FMIC, so I have most of the original P1/D1 parts. Let me know what you need & I'll give you prices....

if you take your time and shop the boards you can put it together pretty inexpensively.

My buddy put his together for just over $1500 inlcuding a FMIC.

ATI D1 is the blower he is using btw.

Thats almost BS meter worthy right there. A used D1 head unit by itself costs that much most the time! Even if you got a D1, bracket, and FMIC for $1500 that would be a steal! But a complete kit??? Like as in all the plumbing with the silicone couplers, tubing, clamps, bypass valve, etc. etc. etc. as well? All for $1500? I'm sorry, I don't believe you I just can't!
