91rss, youre going to spend more money on a DIY kit for a procharger (P1SC,D1SC,P1,D1,ETC) than you would ordering from Procharger. IF you think you can get a DIY mounting bracket, spacer posts, pullies for a cheaper cost hats off to you for getting that done. I just don't see it happening. Have you considered a full bolt in kit from them? They're around 3200 right now I believe with a 2 core intercooler.

about $1k if he shops around.
Here is what I did.
SC Mounting Bracket, 1 idler, Air filter, spacers, some bolts, intake tubing, silicone couplers, clamps, hood prop relocation bracket. $575.
Blower Pulleys used ebay $60
Misc Hardware, idler pulley, $70
2-Bar map sensor $65
Junkyard BOV out of a Saab $10
Walbro 255lph high pressure pump is $140
'90+ Hood prop and brackets, $45
(Corvette thing, ignore it)
I deleted the return line filter, and swapped the lines for some -6an
in case I go FMU in the future. That ran me about $80
Blower head unit cost me $800.
So I'm in about $1,845 for a non-intercooled setup. Figure $1,800 for a thirdgen since you guys don't have to change your hood prop

Add about $600 for an intercooler (air to air or air to water). If you search I did a FMIC back in '04 on my Formula. It can be done even cheaper now.
I don't know if a procharger head unit goes for more than $800 or less. I went with powerdyne because of the 'silent drive' was appealing, since my old Vortech used to drive me batty, and I hated the oil plumbing.

I always found Vortech's claim of "Quiet" hilarious, as they're quiet V2 is just as loud as they're other units lol. However, I've never really heard a powerdyne before, as nobody around here runs one. Do you have any vids, and/or sounds of the engine with it at idle Joe, as I'd really like to hear it..... 

Of course, this also means that much more than 10psi and the belt will snap, but
I can't run that much boost anyway.
