Unhappy Project supercharger...advice needed please!

I bought a procharger supercharger that came off a low mileage 993 but am struggling to find any information on how to fit or what might be missing from what I've bought. Prochargers website shows this model is called a C2 and that it has an air to air intercooler. No mention of Porsches though. My C4's engine needs a rebuild anyway so a low compression rebuild isn't going to cost any more

In fact I'd love to know what I have bought.

What is the graphic equaliser looking jobby?

Why does this have two cone air filters one baby and one biggy?

Does it fit where my aircon normally goes? Hope not - I just paid a fortune having the climate controls moved into the glovebox.

Is this potentially a waste of time as it'll run like an asthmatic chihuahua especially as no one knows how to set these up? Or vill zee humiliation be unbearable for those 993TT and 996TT owners?

Photos to follow. As always your input is appreciated!

The small filter is to dump boost when you come out the throttle. Big filter replaces the normal air filter.

The black box is probably either to watch or modify fueling/boost, would need to see some more(better) pics to be sure.

It doesnt look like this will fit with aircon in my car, having spent 1000's relocating the controls for the climate into the glovebox I think I'll sell it, if anyones interested at 2.5k GBP please PM me
