    What brand gauges? And not happy with the look or something? I ran Auto Meter for my last boosted vehicle with no issues. Had a GlowShift one in the VX that worked good but never saw boost before I got rid of it.

    The kits originally went for 3,000 and he had a sale at 2800 once and I waited and he had a "super sale" around Christmas and I couldn't resist... I picked it up for 2600 I think. Around 2850 total, shipped to AK.

    All AutoMeter. I had tried 2 different ones which I can't recall the models (one had a C/F facing and the other very plain Jane white), but am now using a Cobalt. The previous 2 both decided to just slowly stop working. Not a fan of the Cobalt either so looking to try something different. I am considering trying an SPT gauge from the STi (not mine of course) just because I love the way it looks, heh. Pricey bastards though.

    Oil change

    I just rebuilt my engine, transmission and transfercase. Put it all back together with the super charger, original Tone/ Alpine $2850 I believe. It has been on for about 70k and worked great. Was wanting to change the super charger oil , any one know what to put in it?

    Manual

    I might have a manual, think it came on a CD. Do you think that you can upload yours, BeeVenom, it to the file section?

    Just get GM Supercharger oil from a dealer. It's pretty cheap. Like $8-$9 a bottle. I think that is what Tone used to recommend.

    Hello, BeeVenom !

    You can send me "original Alpine Manual" for s/c kit?

    Thanks!
