You have to cut the cowl. Not many people are willing to do this.

I've never seen it done. I've been on this site for a while and the other site for 4 years. Heard that one guy has done it (with a lot of fabbing up) but never seen any pics or proof.

I am waiting to hear more info on this as well, I would love to have full boost right off idle. But who knows if the intercooler version is going to come out or not, they are still working on it, I might go turbo before then though.

I have the same blower on my truck and wish I would have got a centrifugal s/c. They are efficient and look great but I can't boost that much out of it.

The twin setup usually goes on boats.
