Getting quote for 10 sets maybe aluminum maybe stainless not sure till I get the quote back but yes I can do full instructions

Step 1. Remove Vortech supercharger

Step 2. Drink BEER

Step 3. get BIGG MALLET and block of wood proceed to beat the low pressure line into submission (use extreme caution as you could possibly damage the line and have to buy another one...Don't say I didn't warn you)

Step 4. if you completed step 3 without incident drink another beer and smile

Step 5. Install Rabbid performance down pipe and reinstall Vortech supercharger

You are almost done!!!! WAHOOO

Step 6. Install Factory Vortech charge tube behind radiator

Since you already removed front Fascia Step 7-8 should be cake

Step 7. Install Rabbid performance Intercooler mounting brackets and intercooler

Step 8. remove Vortech BOV and reinstall on 3" dia bent section then install onto discharge of intercooler with supplied 3" couplers

Step 9. Install final piece of tubing with supplied couplings and replace front Fascia

Step 10 stand back and small cause this whole process should take you no more than a couple of hours

disclaimer beer drinking may actually lengthen installation time depending on amount consumed by installer

That pretty well sums it all up really simple install I may have left out some minor things here and there but I can remove and install in under 30min now

I could tell yah but then I'd have to kill everyone and that’s what’s holding up having an engine to put in

On the other hand I am working on a reinforced Girdle over the factory should be done here in a few days

Some other good news..The bypass BOV will hold 27psi at least . I preasurized the whole system again today to make sure I had no leaks . Boost gauge read 27psi and no air coming out of the BOV . Now I dont think it will release [ or flow ] enough air to run that high of psi . But it will hold it
