i have a G so i would have to re-route the a/c lines that are in front of my charger now. Probably would have to do something with the radiator fans or the charge pipe because the output on the ysi is larger.

i got the vortech kit on my car and its currently at the body shop.. i have the choice to keep my mesh grill on my v2 bumper.. or take it off and would obvvioiusly just show the fmic with no protection? i see many people run iit this way.. is there any bad results that can happen... or is it just preference..i like how the bumper loooks without the grill but i dont want to mess the intercooler fins up?

I live on a farm too.
To keep on topic....my ss box failed. Is the unichip from Vortech a good replacement? I don't need anything complicated.

I do a good job of dodging otherwise they get stuck under my bumper because there is not much clearance. I'm not on a dirt road, but I can shoot gophers from my kitchen window with a 12guage, so you know I have to be secluded. Deer is what I worry about.

ya, deer>350z
i would say buy another ss box. If you're wanting simple then the simplest thing (install and everything) would be puting ss box back in. You'll have to mess with tuning again if you change to unichip.
After messing with osiris i miss my ss box but i do'nt miss the headaches it caused.
Look around for an ss box and if you can't find one i might be able to sell you mine. I didn't want to get rid of it because i'm going to sell my whole vortech kit when i get out of med school and complete system will sell faster.

I think the rev up kits get unichip. Unless something has changed they are still using ss box for the non-rev kits.

That being said, if you were going to replace internals i would strongly suggest lowering the compression just in case you decide to upgrade your forced induction later.
It seems 9:1 or 9.5:1 is the norm. I have 9.5:1 in my car which is quite a bit lower than needed for my vortech. I plan on upgrading to a large turbo at a later date though.
I would talk to whoever is building your engine and see if they have a preference. It's always good to use what the builder is used to.
