Many questions, as I have been thinking about doing this.
Did ya buy it new or used?
If used, what source and how did you know all of the parts were there?
If new, where and how hard was it to get the right kit?
Were you able to install it yourself or did you need professional help?

I should let you know that the way they did it was THE RIGHT WAY not the ATI way.
In the ATI installation manual it says to tie those two hoses (the ones with the filters) together with a T fitting and run it to the intake filter in your passenger wheel well. NOT GOOD as it will coat the blower and intercooler with oil over time. Plus the T'ing of the two 3/4" hoses into 1 causes a restriction.
I'm glad the installers knew this was a bad idea.
Now upgrade your fuel pump before your AUX that they installed fails and leans out your motor. This is something you can do, it's a snap

This and those 42lb injectors will give you a "more appropriate" fuel system

BTW: At 500 miles you have to change the oil. Then every 3000 miles after that. Did the shop give you the bottles of oil that came with the kit?
changing the oil is a pain, as the whole head unit needs to be taken out.

To bad you didn't live closer VVV :P
To bad you didn't live closer VVV :PIt's not hard, just time consuming.
steps in order:
1.) remove 3" outlet hose from blower (one hose clamp)
2.) Loosen hose clamp on plastic inlet "hat" intake
3.) Remove belt only off of alternator
4.) Remove bolts holding blower to bracket
Walla!
