Vash90909's first build!
It's bin a good while since I've made a post here so time for my update. After a lot of thinking I've decided to go ahead to supercharge my bolt with zzp stage 2 setup. Please don't flame about buying all the parts used for cheaper. I want to go this way to keep it easier. So with that said here is the build.
ZZP supercharger kit
Stage 2 - #60 with smaller pulley for about 11-12 psi
zzp 2.5 DP with cat
I already have a shorty header and a stock ss s/c catback.
Will be buying a new catback come first of march
Thinking of doing zzp intake spacers
Aem wideband
Aeroforce boost gauge
Of course trifecta tune.
Ordering this afternoon. What u think? I'll have posts with photos along the way!

That's a good idea. I live in england so there is a track about 70 miles from me that I'm goign to later this month to run my car. I'm gunna run basically a before and after video to show off my kit I can't wait to see what the sc can do on your car though. Gunna be sick as hell. My girl friend is getting deployed soon and she told me she would buy me the tc kit for my car. <3 she's amazing. And im just gunna save my money and keep the stock look, get rid of my eibachs that I have now then drop back on FE5's with pedders along w/ a street bar from ottp. get some restrofits from buyhids 3" exhaust either from vibrant or hahn. Then go from there and work on the internals. I honestly should work on the internals first but im not buying the kit anymore so when it gets here im throwing it on and just keeping the boost low until i raise enough money to buy all the forged things i need O.O oh yeah and new wheels ^^

Oil pressure gauge from auto meter order with adapter for metric. Now everything is ordered! Thinking of getting a strut bar and engine and trans mount inserts. Haven't decided yet.

Hoping for easy sailing. Zzp said they will give me the 2.4 tb adapter if they have it in stock to make the wiring easier. Today I need to give power and ground to the gauges. On one that will work is the afr, other to will be on but showing no info till build day.

So I must say I'm very disappointed with zzp. Here is my problem. Yesterday after my 17 day wait, I finally receive my kit. I go thru and inspect everything, and I didnt not receive a lsj tb. Instead i get a le5 adapter. I called up and explained i didnt have a le5 and I had already made that know to them several times. They tell me the l61 tb should bolt up to that adapter. I explain it wouldn't matter because the 2.2 tb is WAY TO SMALL for a supercharged application. Well I call back 15 minutes before they close to let him know I will need the lsj shipped with the connector. No one answers any department. Finally got hold of someone today and he said they should have one in stock and will be shipping today. Said ill receive on Tuesday. I took vacation time for the guys, i purchased this on the 1st. This is terrible business practice. If they didnt have knowledge of the 2.2, they shouldn't sell to them.

wow man that sucks. ive heard bad things about zzp's customer service as far as people not answering phones and such, could just be do to them working or being away from the desk. i mean they're not a huge business or anything rofl riiight? so why should they have someone at the desk 8 hours a day.
