Injectors are a good edition if you plan to use e85, that's all I really have and am loving the power.

@moto-mike does e-tunes I think so he still may be able to help you.

Taken from my DIY

I just finished my DIY mirror mount and think it looks better than anything I have seen for sale (may not be as sturdy though). I did everything with items I had around the house.

**do this at your own risk, I am not an electrician and I do not know what permanent damage this can do to your radar detector**

Items needed:
Bike Reflector Mount


Something to fill the gap betweeen the bracket and the mirror. I wrapped mined in velcro zip ties.


A drill to make a mounting hole in your radar detector

A medium size screw, make sure to open your radar and test fit as to not hit the circuit board.

Step 1: Remove reflector from Bracket

Step 2: Wrap velcro zip ties around mirror base to give the bike mount a snug fit

Step 3: Open Radar Detector and make sure there is ample room to mount the screw

Step 4: Pre Drill a hole for your screw into the plastic casing

Step 5: Re assemble radar

Step 6: Attach the radar to the mount with your screw













Sorry it was dark in the garage :/

Lastly anyone with electrical knowledge, will that screw mess with the circuit or radar? should i cover it with electrical tape inside (its not touching anything)?

Nice you're adding fast!!!
Good idea on your radar no worry if no screw is near Cb. It's not an intrinsically safe classified device anyhow.

Only negative to this method is its in plain view for thieves, and not easy to remove while say in at a movie or out for dinner?...otherwise cool.

Curious at highway cruising speeds any whine noise or anything with the innovate kit? During acceleration it sounds cool judging by your video but if it is always there....hmmmm...

I'm seriously considering this kit once fa20 releases there version with IC and small tweaks it seems to be what I'm after for subtle power upgrade.

And oh yes on the wife comment, as they say happy wife happy life right?

Love the build, looks fantastic. I'm curious on your thoughts about some stuff regarding the supercharger.
- You don't mind voiding the powertrain warranty on a new car?
- How do you think the dealer will feel about working on stuff in the engine bay with that there?
- Is this your only car/daily driver?

Thanks a lot

-Slightly mind, but I can either afford to fix a small issue myself or if there is a huger problem the SC is pretty easy to remove. But really I would say bye bye to the warranty
-I dont think I want a dealer touching my car anymore
-It is my daily driver but my wife has her car so if shit hits the fan she can drive me around.
