This install was for my friend Ben. I asked him to reply to your question. Initially, it was a bit scary: 1. The banjo bolt to the compressor was sheared during install 2. While the short term fuel trims normalized from the fresh tune, my car's engine would turn off when coming to a stop - which took a bit of getting used to 3. There's a persistent fear that you did it all wrong and that your car will explode. 4. You lose your warranty so if anything goes wrong you're on your own However, that was a few years ago, and I haven't had any issues - so I'm a bit over the initial shock. There's expectation management as well: a flex-fuel kit and this supercharger will ultimately drop your 0-60 times into the low-5's. To some, this might not be enough performance for the cost of the upgrade, the time to do the install, and the additional wear-and-tear this upgrade might have on the car. For me, though, I think it was totally worth it and have no regrets. Thanks, Ben

Thanks for the install vid! Thinking about getting this kit for my BRZ in the future.
What size injectors you use for your car
Nice color - any regrets on install v. leaving it stock?
