Hmm...while I did get the kit used, I'm not sure if the previous owner sent in the warranty card or not. It was sold back to the dealer it was purchased from. Said dealer then sent in the compressor and received a new V3 and I also received a new intercooler direct from Vortech. I wonder if I can still consider it new-ish or warranty purposes..?

The other issue I have is a bit of wear is starting to show up on the one side of the belt. I had read earlier in the thread that the composite idler on the mounting plate was replaced with a steel one in a kit update.

Replaced my air filter, and decided to post the info if anyone else wants to go a different route (non-oiled or other brand filter)

Flange 3.5"
Base 5"
Top 3.5"
Height 7"

The AFE 21-35507 is an exact fit and the same physical dimensions as the filter supplied by vortech.

Getting ready to put the boost and a/f gauges in.

Where did you guys tap in for power?

I have an aftermarket radio so I tapped into the harness adapter. I didn't want to cut or splice into the factory wiring.

Did you add any in-line fuses for your gauges?

My Defi Advance control unit came with an inline fuse so I used that. I did not install an inline fuse for my AEM failsafe gauge

Look a couple pages back... someone just answered this. It will fit, but not direct plug n play.

Thanks for the info. I pm'd Bryan a while back to ask for the K&N part number of the filter our kits come with. He told me it's RU-3130, $34 at Amazon

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029WZWU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Amazon.com: K&N RU-3130 Universal Rubber Filter: Automotive[/ame]

I bought a spare one so my car doesn't have to see some down time when the time comes to service the filter.

Sorry if I missed this, but where is the oil feed to the V2 supercharger? The drain goes to the valve cover, but where does it source the oil feed from?

How does everyone feel about this potential setup:
-V2 oil fed S/C kit
-3.125" pulley
-DW (you tell me what size) injectors and pump
-PTuning water/methanol injection
-HKS header w/ catalyzer
-Perrin 2.5" header-back exhaust
-Perrin oil cooler
-Koyo radiator
-ECUtek and 93 octane tune at Kaizen Tuning
-P3Cars digital multi-function gauge

Anything I'm missing for good, safe numbers? E85 is not an option in my area

I'll likely upgrade the clutch and driveshaft as well.
