    That and even with my 'stiffy' my header is hitting the underside of my car on hard shifts. I can avoid it mostly, but it will end badly if you add more power into the mix.

    The reason that happens is because the 'stiffy' torque damper simply replaces one mount and makes it a solid mount, leaving the remaining mounts OEM. This will put more stress on the remaining mounts, specifically the front mount and tranny mount, wearing out the rubber faster. Works for a little while though.

    I love when things come in faster than expected! Congrats

    So I just found out that some people have already been waiting 2 months for the JRSC Merc Racing aftercooler. Definately makes me a sad panda...... Looking like it may be a long time before this project gets going. So I think I may start buying other good supporting mods. Any suggestions? My first thing to add I think is the S2 Throttlebody, and maybe dropping my Eibach Pro-kit for some coils. I've even tossed around the idea of going with the Twin Screw vs M90......

    I'm waiting to hear back from Jose on his pricing from his page. His first email he sent me was super confusing. The parts list on the page clearly says it includes the manifold and bypass for that $4,800. He emailed me and said I need the manifold but wasn't clear on what you actually get for that. It also shows a heat exchanger, pump, and remote fill. I was hoping for $4,800 it would include all of that. Seems like big chunk for JUST a blower and adapter............

    SCORE!

    Nathen,

    Everything needed to install is included on the price, including pre-assembly of the blower and bypass configuration to the manifold. Pretty much ready to bolt on to your car. You only need to buy a belt that will match your car.

    If you already have parts lets me know which ones so that we can adjust accordingly.

    Jose
