    Had to make some custom brackets for the throttle cable and more importantly the bracket holding the blower underneath. Some bolts were also missing, but was not a big deal to find in my chest of nuts and bolts

    Fuel pressure regulator that is supposed to be with the kit was also not included.

    Previous owner claimed every single part was included but me not knowing what I got into didn't know any better.

    Long story short made the lower bracket and throttle cable and looking order a aftermarket fuel pressure regulator.

    Quite sure you know it, but these kits usually use a rising rate FRP, which ups the supplied fuel pressure with respect to the intake manifold pressure.

    Car went through its first track day supercharged, boy was it fun other than it over heating after 3-4 laps at streets of Willow and big Willow.

    Weather was just to hot in general 100+ degrees
