The install will probably take me a few days. There's a lot of trimming to do like brackets, and the wiring looks pretty tricky. Plus you gotta take off the entire front end (fascia and bumper) for the intercooler and pump.
Thanks for letting this thread slide, I know it's not exactly Gen III Internal Engine.

BTW, would you or anyone happen to know if I need a mechanical or electrical boost gauge? I'm looking at the white-face AutoMeter Ultra-Lite II vac/boost gauge but not sure which version?

Mechanical is generally cheaper and accurate. Not sure what you can run when it comes to boost. I can move this to the FI section if you want to get more than just specualtion in here though. Let me know.

I'm all set, it seems that people are tapping into their brake booster line for the mechanical gauge. Thanks for the offer and help, and everyone else who posted, thankyou.

I'm still gathering information but I really want to do it. I'm looking at different options to finance it too 
. Maybe Obama will propose a SuperCharger stimulus package haha 
.
Seriously, the only thing making me hesitate, besides the expense, is concern about my tranny. From what I've read most people seem to have had pretty good luck with the Maggie TVS as long as you set it up the way Magnuson recommends, and use their conservative tuning.
Thanks for asking, and I'll let you know when I pull the trigger.
