Bob provides a great product for the money...Yeah if you could do anything yourself from surgery to building your house you could save a **** load of money but is that something you really want to attempt?? Not everyone has the equipment, patience, ingenuity...and basically R&D a new product.
Heres some pics of my EPP IC and piping...Thanks Bob!!

I am looking at your 8psi D-1SC kit w/ 60lb injectors, etc. and for the additional $350 its a great deal and hard to not do, but am trying to get an idea of performance gains.
I know the more boost you run the more the frount mount will show its necessity, but I would really love to find out what kinda numbers the frount mount picks up on a car running between 8-12psi.
I had never really thought of supercharging, but after my t-type
turbos give me headaches
BTW great kit and I look forward to getting one after the wife gets her house

You can do this with either meth , inter cooler, or both (best). Ideally, meth is the best solution but its a fuel also, and will run out. If its just a street driven car that you want to drive around on weekends and what not, then the intercooler is perfect, zero up-keep.

The price may seem a little steep, but if you break it down it is rather reasonable.
Prices of the componets are not cheap, the silicone fittings we use are rated for 30+ psi (4 and 5ply). Using T-bolt stainless clamps is nice, but they are expensive. Im sure we can cut the cost a little bit by using rubber hose and worm clamps, but at this point i have not seem a interest in it.
Im sure if there is a interest in a budget kit, then we can put one together for cheaper then the silicone kit.

OK...But I'm guessing I'd need new piping for my D1SC too...

Damn Bob this kit has blown up since you desigined the first one on my car. Glad to see it is working out. Do you guys jet hot coat these? May have already been answered but I didn't want to look through the whole thread.
