Well, I guess that, back in the "old days" when both folks entered the wedding as virgins, the Wedding Day was a Big Deal......... ;-)

Let's just say I'm glad I test drove a few models before sealing the deal.

But now she's a few years old and has quite a few 'racing sessions' on her. Bout time to trade her in on a new model... Maybe one with express down windows and cleaner carpet

Finally got the Tweecer software up to date, the correct drivers loaded, and downloaded the tunes that were in it already. I have to say, I started it a few times and let it run a bit to watch the wideband and I like the extra noise it makes! Hope I have a few extra horses now to match that noise! :)

Progress is nice and the good weather is coming. Good timing.

Regarding the new models - Some have to much plastic for what they're asking. The styling is nice but there are only a few I would consider as a DD.

I kinda like what I have, yes shes got a few miles on her, but I put them on and had some good adventures along the way. She has been dead reliable and low on maintenance. As with all cars you get used to the performance after awhile need more. It's handy if the car you have readily takes to modifications. After a few years if you have exhausted the standard bolt-ons,
you can always go FI and keep turning up the boost till something blows.
I always had way more fun with the built not bought cars that I have had and there is something to be said for keeping and improving what you already have and know.

Still have some tidying up to do - need to duct the air filter into the fender for sure.

Awesome. Good job. It actually looks a lot like my Maxima configuration. It looks like you come out of the blower at 2.75"-ish, go to 2.5"-ish and go back to 2.75-3"ish. Why didn't you stay at the larger diameter for the whole run? You might consider some heat shielding along the bottom of the straight pipe crossing over the manifold. And, you should add a CAI when you get a chance. What PSI are you running? Great work! Awesome.

The piping is what came with the supercharger. My main goal was getting the beast running!

I'm looking for a decent source for some rubber intake elbows now, plus a new filter since it will go in the fender.

I think the pulley is good for around 10 psi. Jason was nice enough to send me a larger one he wasn't using. (BIG thank you to him!)

Try a diesel supply store for some rubber intake couplers. I used two 45* and one 90* elbow, probably 4" ID.
