I know this sounds wierd, but so I'm really glad there aren't ANY extra screws, nuts, or bolts, nor are any missing- that, frankly, is amazing!
Anything to think of before going for a first spin?

Thanks! I will take you up on that another time, for as it stands, I've got it all back on, just need to get the headlights and side markers back in then, the mount the wheels and get it back on the ground for a ride with Durametric testing.

Also stay close to your shop where you are working....just in case!
Run your engine gingerly at first and IF you get on it be sure and check your boost gauge to make sure you are making full boost(6PSI),if you aren't making full boost you have a boost leak!
BTW full boost is up around 7000 RPM and for a fraction of a second!
MOST importantly....ANSWER your phone......
I have called you numerous times over this install only to get....your answering machine.....So back at ya' buddy!
Have fun and be safe John!

Staggering.
I drove the 35 miles home from the shop, and it's wicked. Insane.
The rear wheels can't gain traction in first gear, and I can spin the wheels in just about any gear if I want to- but I can control it, too, so it's not a detriment, just a dorky party trick.
First gear gets you to 35mph in about a second, like 1 wicked shove. Another couple seconds in 2nd gear and you're at 65-70mph. Another second or two in 3rd and you're at 95mph.
And it has a really nice little whistle to it, not a whine, but a high-pitched whistle, which sounds cool, and let's you know it's there!
Insane. I'm going to spend some time with my wife now, and post details, pics, vids, etc. tomorrow.

First gear is ABSOLUTELY USELESS with this type of power...2nd gear is fun,3rd gear on IS a BLAST!
NOW that you are done John....send me my tools so I can get my car charged again.....LOL!
BTW thanks for offering to grab the EZ springs and extra pulleys for me.....one more boost increase for me...PLEASE!
I am going to try 7 PSI (measure BEHIND the throttle body) and water/meth injection.....that outta net me another 40 or so netRWHP...I HOPE!
Stacy
PS CONGRATS John and I am glad that you are happy so far,with the 1999 and justatoy modified VF supercharger!

You guys are funny- and I know Jim is trying to sell me more Diamonds! I was actually doing some research on:
1. how to use the Durametric
2. gauges for AFR & Boost
I really want to upload the videos right now, but I can't find the camcorder, so I think I left it in the garage, and our home alarm is on. Turning the alarm off means a batch of beeps which would wake my sleeping wife, so I'm better off waiting.
But, I can tell you that I have a vid clip of my tires skipping for about 30 yards as I accelerate in 1st gear, LOL!
What do you all think about gauges? I know Brando like the Zeitronix, and VF-E recommends Innovate.
I'd really like to go out right now and mash the gas pedal, this thing is ferocious! I can't wait to meet the next WRX/ 996TT/ AMG/ M3 on the road. I urge them not to tinker with me.
Also, got to sort out my badge. Going with "SC" or "911 SC"? What color: matte black, chrome, dark grey?
