Got procharger kit today.. and installed today.

So this is going to be a solid review, but I'm going to add to it more tomorrow. I just wanted to get it started so I don't forget anything.

My kit was the P1 which I had originally ordered with a stage 2 IC and standard bypass valve. When I placed the order, there was a problem with the company that makes the IC cores and therefore procharger was backed up because of it. I was offered an upgrade to the race IC and race bypass valve. Although I was a little hesitant about this because there has to be some slight modifications to the car and the drivers side auxiliary radiator has to be removed. That said, I'm very confident in my work for installing it so I went ahead with it.

Opening the kit and making sure everything was there, I quickly realized as a long time mechanic and fabricator that this company is the real deal. The quality of the components is excellent and top notch. The full install took me about 6 hours start to finish. The modifications that needed to be done actually were easier than I thought. I wish I took more pictures but unfortunately I was going too fast I didn't want to stop. On first start up I was pleased not to hear any funny noises, see any leaks, and didn't see anything rubbing etc.

I only drove it home which was about 15 minutes, but my first impressions are very good. The Bypass valve is very loud and I LOVE it. The power feels great. You can see the big ass intercooler and red bypass valve sticking out of the front of it which is pretty cool. I'll get some more pictures tomorrow and will update this thread if anyone has any questions.
