Vortech, ATI... etc (lots of good posts around here if you look)

If I remember right Paxtons have a problem about redlining to quickly due to a low impeller max speed and a limited supply of different sized pullies from Paxton.

Intercooling is always a plus too. Especially if you plan on using the stock motor.

Good luck on your search. Sometimes cheap kits can be found on ebay but not that often. Mostly it's either mustang, vette, or 4th gen kits. I've seen a few 3rd gens kits. One was acouple years back it was a P1-SC and intercooler went for around $1570ish + shipping.

yeah if someone could find a blower bracket from someone that upgraded to a race or custom race bracket you could nearly complete this kit:

I think you can buy that bracket from ATI also. But they'll charge you like $300+ for it.

Usually has a new inline fuel pump. Because with the FMU (Fuel Management Unit) will boost your pressure for fuel way above normal to counter all the extra air going into the motor.

From the picture looks like all the turbo style hose clamps are missing.

You'll be needing a new belt, oil, and air filter.

Also looks like he has kept the L brackets that IC mounts on.

I don't know about the tubing itself either, I would have imagined there would be more pipes.

Maybe someone else should help, since I haven't even seen a procharger in person.
