FINALLY everything is done and done right my questions are!

1) can i start my car normaly now that i have this on ? or do i have to wait extra long. - I just drive away but I won't boost until after the engine is thoroughly warmed up. Boosting on a cold engine will cause the drive belt to jump.

2) when I am done driving can i just turn my car off and go? - yep, its not a turbo where you can coke the bearings.

3) what are the basics for tuning my max that i can do! if any! after everyday driving! - if its stock you can't really tune it withouth having an adjustable fmu (eg. Cartech, Vortech SuperFMU, etc.)

4) can i take my maxima on long trips? - you can. best to have metal pulleys to replace the plastic ones.

5) if my engine is done right can this SC hurt my engine at all? - no but depending on how often you get on the boost it would be the tranny you should worry about more.
