damn....thats pretty cool. I wasnt even aware that it existed. I thought that the PES was only....
the roots style from the first set of pics you posted- directly mounted to the manifold. But this is interesting! I am thinking that the procharger would require less space/leave you more space to work with though.

without knowing too much about them, I'm thinking that the C-2 system would.......
be better suited for a 12V. Smaller diameter outlet, yes, however, the overall size would be smaller and more easily fitted in the engine bay....not to mention the recommended specs for the base (NA)engine hp are MUCH closer to that of our cars with the C-2 (or C-1) chargers than with the larger systems they offer.

I am under the impression that many of their kits come with piggy backs.....
well...supposing you ask for it or a kit with one....its obviously not thrown in for free! but I have seen several installs of prochargers as ordered kits including their [recommended] intercooler and piggyback (all made by/from PROCHARGER). It "LOOKS" like a very simple/easy install. With the exception (as I think you said before) of a few custom brakets it doesnt seem like it would be that bad at all!

ya about that intercooler, we would have to run with one that has both ports on the passenger side.
which is going to cause us to have alot of hoses were the airbox is.
Thats why I want to run without one. since the s/c wont get hot like a turbo would anyways, it affects us less.

Im probably going to call them directly an have them send some literature to my home.....
I would think that dimensions would be in there....but at this point I personally have MORE than enough room to accomodate a procharger (or turbo for that matter) that is suited for a 12v.

are you saying youd keep the stock airbox? oh...or you were just referring to the area......
on pass side of engine where the airbox would be if the car was stock...right?
regardless, I dunno man, I'd probably opt for the intercooler....and anyways, I am almost positive that I have seen a PROCHARGER intercooler that would fit our cars with both ports on the one side.

If I do get the system I wouldn't keep the airbox, I would just make a U bend and have it go from
the inlet around and under the procharger. and down near where the air condensor is.
