Nice work

I've got the funds all saved up for one of these bad boys and wanted to do the install myself also. I'm just trying to decide if I should act like an adult for once with my money or buy me a SC.

I thought the same thing. I was waiting on the stage Two to come out, but now I'm thinking I need to be an adult and get a new roof..

Wow thanks for all the props guys.. I did get the tune from Sam last night but ran into some snags with my HKS Camp2 thing i'm trying to install before I go out and drive it. I though for sure my Kenwood dnx6140 had a rear A/V input to connect the camp2 to. it does not.. Going to pick up a 7 inch monitor today and throw it in the cubbyhole. Oh look 6 inches of snow coming tonight... damnit.

Yes I ordered the Stage 1 with their Supplement Oil cooler hit, (lets me re-use my 19row setrab oil cooler, just new thermostat and lines for it)

No it could probably be done by one person if you had to.. But my wife is as much of a car person as I am.. She just sold her awesome RX-8 and picked up an old 280Z as our next little project. Its cool because she understands that you "need" a supercharger...

haha hell if I know.. haven't found a place to put this yet.. I may try to fit it behind the oil cooler in the drivers side fender well. Or maybe inside the car somewhere.. still gotta think about that one.

BTW Guys, Fezzik is a local guy here and has this kit on his G37 vert, also a DIY. It was very helpful talking to him at meets about what he went thru on his install.. Thanks again Dave.

No prob bud. Glad to be of help. Also on the water bottle. I was able to get mine to fit next to the air filters. I got some flexible pvc piping and a pvc female screw connector with an oring at ace hardware and created a hose up to the original location for the water fill.
