Procharger question
Would it be considered a DIY install, is it packaged that way with install directions? or only for pro shop installs?
I consider myself a capable DIY'R on many mods i have done.
TIA

if you want to use a procharger headunit then rule those guys out... supposedly they won't make a procharger bracket anymore because of me, NOT because they can't supply the correct parts
... assuming you are sent all the correct parts it should be a pretty easy install, just double check the belt alignment to make sure it's good and you should be fine... on the tuning part, you can leave your stock injectors in the car and drive it to the tuner then swap the new injectors in at the tuner's shop, just stay out of boost... I drove my car like that for a week just to make sure it was all good to go before having it tuned

I have to say the new procharger "adjustable" head units do sound pretty cool.. I was worried about their durability when they first announced them but haven't really followed them since then

sorry guys!... apparently the old saying "the customer is always right" doesn't apply here, in my case it's "the customer is always wrong"... I've heard so many excuses that point the blame back to me or somewhere else rather than the source

I clearly stated that we have discontinued all Procharger brackets because they are sold so seldom that we do not stock every component for them. Thus making it a "one off" part and not an off the shelf part like all of our Paxton components.
Your sale is what brought that to our attention, it is not good for us or the customer, not because of you personally or any fault of yours. If there is fault I accept that blame and our response was to discontinue an item that we do not sell enough of to handle properly.

This is the truth. I spent many months researching which FI kit I wanted and I ended up with ECS. I couldn't be happier. The kit is super simple and belt changes are quite painless. Their Blower bracket literally couldn't be more simple and it just works.
I made 785rwhp on the base Novi 1500 so it has plenty of potential if you want to turn up the wick.
