awesome, no questions....good night!!
p.s. don't be worry about the distance between the blower and the header. Dave and I ran the car for 30 mintues or so at full operating temps and the blower barely felt warm. I drove for 3.5 hours at 80mph on the interstate, stopped at a rest stop and with the car running placed my hand on the compressor no more than 3" away from the #1 header and could hold my hand there with no problems...a little warm but not bone-melting heat like a turbo.

sorry guys, didn't see the new posts...
Yes, that is my blue P5.
Yes, I have a lot more pictures and even other videos. I didn't post all of the video's because 2 of them sound nasty due to belt slippage. I didn't want to feed the haters. I'll post some more tonight

I just read all 19 pages... You really have done a lot with this kit. It is absolutly amazing. If I had the money right now I would definatly front it.
Its just to bad I didn't see this sooner... My AC is already fried, I would have driven up to Cleveland for ya
.
Dave is a great guy. I hope he is doing better.

yeah Dave and I noshed on some Arby's while working on everything!
I'd like to get everythign 100% finished and start visiting some of you guys at your larger regional events. I plan on hitting HIN in atlanta, Nopi in Atlanata, World of Wheels in B'ham, and a few others..
I'll also be going back up to Ohio so Dave and I can race at mid-ohio. You should the video's of his p5 outrunning porsche's, bmw's, focus svt's....he's got an auto p5 with intake and exhaust...thats it. We're guessing he'd be dominating the class above his if he were running this blower. We're going to see what power it makes at about 4psi and he may possibly be putting it on as well.

I don't see that being a problem. I'm sure I'll be able to get some for some time.....it all depends on how people like everything.
if there's no interest in it then it may go away but I think people seem to look forward to it.

I've only done bolt-ons and suspension work, will I be able to do this by myself? I helped with the MAM street sleeper turbo kit, but Ryan did the fitting, and Pat and Linux did the MPI tuning. I basically was a wrench turner.

Matt, what year and model truck do you have. If powerdyne makes a kit for it already I can get you one at cost.
dude, it's not real difficult but there is a few things that may be a little trickey if you've never done it if before...i.e Tapping a thread in the ps-pump...(I will include a tap for you). Also, it's really just about installing everything in the right order. The ps-lines go THROUGH the blower belt so you have to put the belt on first THEN bolt up the ps- pump. It's not hard though and i'm always here to ansdwerr questions.

If those are the only major pitfalls, I think I would be OK... so long as you include some instructional literature to consult.
