    Last supercharger questions

    Well it's been months and soon I'll be getting my si back. For all of you who didn't see the post, it fell off a flat bed in May. Now to the point. I finally have enough money to spend on a supercharger! Don't flame me about Kpro, I'm starting with the street kit and the power card. The best price I can find is from modacar.com which is 2180, does anyone know a site who can beat it?

    Also I'm looking for a boost gauge, oil gauge, and the double pod that fits on the steering column. Anyone have any recommendations for what kind of gauges I should get? I really wanted ones that would black out when the car is off, but I'd rather have ones that perform the best for a not to crazy price.

    Now other then these things and probably the gatorback belt and the hondata intake manifold gasket, will I need anything else?

    Also what size gatorback belt will i need for the street kit?
    (If any mods see this and the other one in the NE section, can you delete the on there, figured I'd get more help in the boost section.)

    Why wouldnt it be worth starting with the street kit and then just upgrading to a race pulley, injectors and Kpro later?

    Well I'm really only looking for a little extra power, and a lot of people have it sound like they enjoy the little extra power. I can always upgrade later. I'd get the race kit, but I really dont feel like having to go tune kpro. Also I like to buy new, used parts just isn't my thing, if thats what you might by looking around on here.

    Exactly. Trust me I've been looking at the race kit, but it really comes down to, I'm not familiar with tuning.

    Kpro has a base map that you can load and it's still better then the powercard. It's like anything, do it right the first time so you don't have to do it later.

    I havnt really looked at the JRsc very closely, what is involved in swapping the pulley over? Snagged one cheap, just have to go pick it up.

    running a getto race kit for 15,000 miles...........

    getto race kit = street kit + 310cc injectors from a type-s, a 4 inch pulley and one step cooler plugs....you need to run the stock cat with this set though to keep the flow down and the ecu happy....I'm making 185-200 whp with no issues.

    The oil gauge is going to be a waste of your time and money. Take everyones advice and just get Kpro right off the get go. If it requires you to wait another month or two, then just do it. Do it right the first time or don't do it at all...
