Thanks for the inputs.

Kit comes with hose clamps for under the manifold, I do recall reading about that issue on this forum. As for the P3 gauge, how does it read boost? Do I have a port for that or does it read from the MAP sensor or something? Never done a supercharger before. Gave the P3 unit a good look and have a better understanding.

Goals are as follows.

1. Get it done quickly, so I'm using a local shop.
2. Add the Mishimoto oil cooler.
2. Keep it reliable, it's my commuter.
3. Keep it safe, thanks for gauge tips here.
4. Squeeze what I can out of what I have before adding any fuel system upgrades.
5. It's not a racecar, just my sports car.

Eventually, this will be Ecutek kit is my current line of thinking. May have missed the mark a bit here on this particular kit purchase for flexibility, but it is plug and play. I got a good shop referral from a friend with a CTS-V Cadillac when my TOB blew out last month, so I gave them a try. Now I'm going to have them do this I'm so happy with their work and, in particular, their speed of getting it done.

I read of someone on here or FB getting 300whp from this kit on a 93 tune IIRC. They claimed no fuel system upgrades, just a 93 tune on this same HKS SC system. No way to confirm it as HKS tune or otherwise, but his exhaust was all done as well. That would be great, but I expect to land south of that with the stock header and exhaust and only a CSG catback on it. I've read the base tunes that come with kits are made more for reliability than all out power, and that's what I want. My reading, mostly from this forum, has been failures come when someone pushes the tune too far, and it's mostly the turbos and rod failures in my reading. I haven't read of any failures on base tunes provided by manufacturers like HKS or others where applicable. Albeit, I found one thread where some HKS customers had serious issues and burned through two SC units, but that seemed mechanical, not tune related.

I'm reading that I have the engine's oil viscosity much be higher than 40. What, is that correct? Does Japan do different oil ratings, that one has me confused for a 0-20W engine, and it's right on the front page of the manual too. I'd share an image, but haven't been success on other attempts on this site for some reason. It's the last line in the Remarks section.
