Yes I do, although it is not installed yet.

In my honest opinion the kits are not the greatest. Yes, it will physically bolt the blower to the engine, and it will run- but the bbv setup is garbage (and a proper solution from whipple runs $400)- and there are some other minor issues with the kit. Thats part of the reason I haven't stuck it on yet- theres really no point until I get all the little issues tweaked first and I just haven't had time to address them.

The thing is, you really need a pretty hardcore buildup already to even be considering a whipple. I would say ported heads, a cam, headers, and a built transmission would be a minimum requirement- with an IC strongly reccomended.

For people still running stock heads/mild cam or rockers, plog, stock tranny, etc- a gen V M90 or a ported gen 3 is a much more cost effective option.
