Relevant to my interests.

Sweet deal, that was answer I was looking for. Subbed!

Looking at this " breathing apparatus" as well.



This graph represents the supercharger system on an eddy current Dynojet dynamometer in fith gear utilizing our 91 octane CARB pending tune on an otherwise stock vehicle. Even the factory paper filter element was installed in the air box. While we did make several stronger pulls, we felt our lowest single pull would best represent the low end of what one would likely experience with our turn-key stage 1 system. That said, the gains are very impressive and really shine through from behind the wheel. The torque “valley” turns in to a mountain, with gains in the 30 to 40lbft filling in the stock car’s dip. The story is pretty much the same from 5K to redline. It feels like one would expect, like it gained another liter of displacement and 2 more cylinders

Saw that and was quite intrigued.
Still some dips, and hoping that some more more dedicated tuning will smooth things more.
Keeping an eye on these.

I'd take it as-is, but like you said it's still in the very early stages.

It'll be hard to tune it out with a stock header.

I'm researching the three UEL headers right now... Borla, JDL or Rev Works

Congrats Darren Driven! Consider plumbing in the "go fast gas" for that extra kick

[JSC]

I'm leaning toward the JDL UEL header. Read a lot of threads about issues with the Borla UEL and it's flanges. Also, the pictures floating around the forums of the 2 collectors shows a huge difference in quality.

JDL could be a while before they start shipping though. They did a group buy of 20 2 months ago and from the thread I've been following they have yet to start shipping.

Funny how you were just talking about this not to long ago. You must of known something! But yea, look who's the guinea pig lol.

I have the JDL coming, but they are back ordered and I won't get mine until mid to late July. The Borla has had too many quality issues, and Nick has the Rev Works but it doesn't have the spring looking thing on the long pipes. I obviously don't remember what they are called at the moment. JDL seemed like the best quality and also had the best warranty, which is probably why it was the most expensive of the 3 as I was looking at the same.

How much is the super charge

The spring looking thing is an expansion joint which is typically used to help absorb vibration.

The JDL warranty is lifetime to the original owner so unless it turns out to be crap your covered on the header for as long as you own it.

You can buy the tuner kit from Innovate for $3195.

FA20Club is selling them for $3390.15 with the current discount and comes with a custom tune. If you don't have an Ecutek cable they'll send you a loaner while their tuning your car. I opted to purchase the Ecutek kit so it works out to $3584.15 all together. Figure I'll probably need the cable and license down the road as I buy more stuff for the car.
