Take your time and hang out with the elite seasoned ones in Forced Induction section as much as you can. Andy will give you the top notch customer service and is available on his cell phone any time day or night to help out his customers.

BTW, pinning the crank is a real biatch. Also, make sure you get the car properly street and dyno tuned and above all dont get greedy. Force Induction is addictive

Pinning the crank consists of drilling the crank pulley and crankflange. Then inserting a 1/4" pin so under boost the pulley wont spin on the crank.
I own a kawasaki dealership in Annville Pa so i am a little biased.

Keep me posted (and maybe a ride with you) after it's done. I have some Vortech aspirations for the car lately.

I have an M6 but basically same as yours.
