Jeff, you gonna do any sharktuning before the SC install? It'd be interesting to see whether the engine wants/will take more fuel now that it's exhaling better.

But..nothing prevents me from..when I do get to the dyno, a belt swap to run W/O boost would be about a 5 minute job and just see.
Would be a good set of data points.
I spose..my immediate issue is..do I buy a SuperMAF now, or later?

A few other things..
We did not raise the engine..the nuts that were a PITA on the drivers side..would have remained a PITA even with more room.
The slip-on section for Cyl8, for us could NOT go into the bay attached. We put up the 3-legged main header, put on 2 nuts on the ends just enough to hang it, and the slip on bit went up in there just fine.
The -whole- range of the car runs better...and it screeaaaaaaams a nice new sound too.
But right now, im about 1/2 thru the supercharger install.
The fuel work is done, waiting on a few WYAIT bits from Roger tomorrow in the mail to wrap it up.

I think the 2 x 2.5" into the 3" might be restrictive. You might want to pull one of the o2 sensors and plug a boost gauge in while running to see how much back pressure you have. Ona stock s4 running boost, we saw about 15psi of back pressure. In my dual 2.5" all the way back, I had less than 2 psi.+1
