Default additional maintenance?

Hello,I usually don't post much in this section but I have been looking at a Procharger setup recently so it has sparked some questions in my mind. Most importantly,what kind of effect will adding a supercharger have on my routine maintenance?

None really!

I just changed my oil at the regular time as usual.

Plugs need to be the NGK TR6's and those will be fine too. They really ar e bolt on performance pieces and kick some serious butt!

Thanks,Matt

Depending on which Bracket/Tensioner assembly you get, you could also be changing belts pretty regular.

Do your research before buying a kit.

Is there a kit you would recommend? I was looking at one in the used parts section.
