I did. That makes sense

Getting a bit closer. Couldn't spend all of Easter Sunday in the garage but I was able to sneak out for a bit. So far getting to the #8 spark plug has been the hardest part

. The ProCharger itself has been pretty straight forward.
A couple things I have noticed so far for those about to do this install.

1- Use heat on the crank bolt! That thing is super tight. I have a little propane torch and applied heat for 30 seconds. Came right out.

2- When installing the crank pulley, it doesn't sit completely flush against the balancer. So that's normal. (See pic)

3- As someone else has stated it does ship with some oil so be careful when you remove the drain plug to remove the drain line. Unless you want oil everywhere.

4- More to follow……

Make sure you get a new bolt if you put heat to that one man! Looks awesome though, I bet you're excited to drive it, heck I'm excited for,you to drive it! Have you rotated the engine with that pulley not,flush, I would think it would wobble if it didn't sit flush? What size pulley is on your SC?

The kit comes with a new bolt. Yes very excited lol. I contacted a few people that have already installed them including House of Boost and that is how is supposed to sit. It does sit in there solid, so it's not like it wobbles even when installing it. I just reached out to people to make sure it wasn't supposed to go in further. It's the stock 4.00 that came with it.

Good to know, you just saved me some phone calls. I would have been worried about it not sitting flush when I do mine (hopefully soon). You will probably be up and running before mine gets here, so I can't wait to hear how it runs for you!

Man I can't wait to get another 6thgen, gotta wait for my lawsuit to settle from the accident that totaled my '16(not my fault). I'm already planning on going Procharger. I'm thinking P1X, upgrade race valve, upgraded intercooler, satin black but keeping whatever the regular gears are, I like the loud procharger noise.

How are you mounting that gauge? That's one thing I haven't seen much of, boost and or fuel pressure gauge, I guess with the A-pillar air bags you can't run a gauge pod like older ones, right?

It mounts in the dash vent to the left of the gauge cluster.

Even though I went nGauge, I did get the Aeroforce pod to hold my Lambda gauge. It's such a slick mount. Hope your build is coming along well man
