Thanks for your info deton8r. Good luck on the install! The kit really is well thought out and quite complete. The only things I had to add were some various sized tubing for vacuum and cooling rerouting.

I've looked at those MAFs, but couldn't rationalize spending the $$. Please make sure you report on the effects of the MAF swap.

The Pulley Boys site is interesting, but they don't list anything small enough for our app. Alpine was experimenting with a smaller pulley to up the boost to ~6lbs. This pulley measures 51.92mm, or about 2" in diameter. The Alpine unit uses a keyed pulley. Unfortunately, I've been bugging Steve at Alpine to sell me the smaller pulley - damn the warranty - but he refuses! I think they're worried about having enough fuel with the OEM engine maps.

Alpine was also talking about programming a special unichip for their blower, but they don't have a time frame on it's completion.

I just might have to get one of those alcohol/water injection kits. I just don't want to mount that ugly box in my VX.

Not much more to add, except make sure you really tighten down the EGR tube and go back and retorque it after you heat it up a few times. I know several people, including me, have had those dang things loosen up on them.
