My buddy runs one. It's a pretty nice piece for the price. Had to make brackets for it that attach to the tabs, but no big deal

So if the blower sits on the passenger side, is it best to get the intercooler inlet on the driver side or passenger side?

It's an excellent FMIC — don't hesitate in purchasing one. As far as piping, just route it the same way as you would with an A&A kit. No need to make it more complicated than it needs to be by running it out the drivers side and back across to the blower.

It looks like my procharger has the outlet facing towards the center of the car. It appears that I would need to have the outlet facing towards the ground to be able to run the pipe straight down from the procharger into the passenger side of the intercooler.

Can I just loosen up the 7 allen bolts and rotate the outlet towards the ground?

Make sure your oil slinger is in the proper position, as well.

Thanks for the help.

Do you know if the volute can be rotated with the blower and bracket still secured to the car?

If not, is there a write-up anywhere on how to remove the blower. It's a gen 1 ATI P1SC with their gen 1 bracket.
