maybe they'll offer an upgrade at some point.
Did you see what the fa20club header did for the vortech kit? Hope to see similar results with this kit.

Turns out the RallyX car unexpectedly needs a full brake job... so it will be a bit longer for the BRZ to go under the knife. Oh well. Guess that means I can wait longer for the Nameless header...

I couldn't find the guide, so I tried using tips from ecutek.com to make good logs. We'll see if they work for you. (hope they do!)

Got my SC coming next week, bought it from FT-86 SpeedFactory, it's already shipped and be here Wednesday (thanks SpeedFactory)
I will be doing Flex Fuel setup, so it might be couple of weeks before it's all installed and figured out.

Its not that bad.... try being 6'5" and hunching over an engine bay

I've driven cars up on ramps just to not bend over so much working in the engine bay

damn. i'm 6', I can't imagine how bad it'd be for you. we did this at my apartment complex, and I don't have ramps that we could have used. wouldn't have worked anyways, since john is about 5'8. he wouldn't have been able to reach. lol

I've only ran one data log (might get another this evening). I noticed my peak boost was at 5.3psi. Is that all the stock MAP sensor can read?

The best advice I can give is take your time. Give yourself adequate time to install it so you aren't rushing for a "deadline" to finish. Thats usually when crap goes wrong because you are trying to finish up and miss something in the directions or something along that lines.

I took off work friday to install it. I got the supercharger thursday night, and installed my fuel pump and 95% of the supercharger from 7 oclock to about 1:45 that night haha. That was with me just taking my time, not worrying if i finished up or not, reading the directions a bunch of times, etc. The fuel pump took me longer than the sc install because I took a break and also wanted to make sure I did it correct the first time around. I also had to pull it back out because I forgot to put the stupid rubber piece on the bottom of the pump lol.

I took a LOT of pics for that fuel pump install, I will be doing a proper write-up on it because the DIY on this site leaves a lot to be desired.

Yo can also add to this thread Issues with Fuel Pump Install so that we have all info localized in one thread and you can improve on what has already been done.

Thanks!!
