Can you elaborate on how this setup is different from the others available?

Looks good Do you use the stock fuel rails, throttle bodies and injectors?

We use the stock throttle bodies and fuel rails but larger fuel injectors are a must for any forced induction set up.

Thanks for the reply.... did you guys ever toy with changing the cams with your setup, or would that be unnecessary or just to expensive? I guess at some point you would have to worry about the bottom end and the expense of upgrading the rest of the drive train.

This kit employs an air-to-air intercooler and an HKS blower. Most others on the market use water to air intercooling coupled with a Vortech blower. This is a sick kit and worth the wait .

Thanks for the kind words.

It actually isn't being recirculated but looks so for aesthetics purposes not performance.

If you look at the BOV on the passenger side, it has a horn, due to space constraints we can not do the same on the driver side BOV. So, we run a small hose into the box but it is not being recirculated back into pipes or the system.

Let me know if that makes sense or if you have any other questions.

If you are using the same blower in the stage 1 kit as the stage 2 how does the stage 2 achieve more boost? Is that the benefit of the meth injection?

Meth provides additional cooling to basically prevent your engine from detonating. Kinda like upping the octane of your fuel. I may have to stop by At Speed to see this bad boy in person!

We use the same HKS GTS8550 Blower on Stage 1 and Stage 2. Meth injection is used for engine cooling on the stage 2 set up.

Is there an option to make the BOV into recirculated type? I'm not fond of the BOV sound venting into the atmosphere and would rather have it recirculated for noise reasons. Thx.
