Contact Ewuzh, I believe he knows a shop that can install it for you. Why not install it yourself? Also, I'm sure Ptatohed and I could walk you through it, if you got hung up. It's really not that bad of an install.

Did you know there are installation instructions on VQpower.com?

Do you actually have a SC kit ready for install? If could leave it with me and Ptatohed for a week, we could do it for a small fee.

Come to Stillen day this Saturday. You can meet me, Ptatohed, and the rest of maxima orgers and see some nice cars too.

I believe Stillen used to charge 8 hours of standard labor, so expect to pay around that much at a shop. I do know a very good shop that can do the install for you, PM me for details. I can also vouch for the_wizard and ptatohed. Great people and they definitely have the know-how in maxima supercharging.

Jim/David,

Maybe David can come down to Wildomar on a Friday I have off (I have every other Friday off and Jim works half a day every Friday) and we can slam it out in a 3 day weekend. ? I have an extra guest bedroom. What do you guys think?

ewuzh probably gave you the info about finish line that does S/C installs but if i was you, i would try to learn how the S/C is installed so you can do your own maintaince and upgrades rather than hefty fees at a local shop. S/C install is not like lowering springs and shocks where u throw it on and forget about it.......

the wizard and ptatohed are willing to help you out, thats a great start to s/cing your car by learning about supercharging. i have met them before at the stillen meet over the past 2 years. both seemed like good guys who know what they are doing and both have been boosted for a while.... id definetly go that route just for purposes of learning

p.s great to see org members helping each other out localy, makes me wanna join the PSI club
