Never installed one but I am thinking about getting one. What psi are you planning on running? Do you have a built block?

Has anyone installed one?
If so was it difficult? Want to know if this is something i can do myself. I would consider myself to be okay around a socket set.
What comes with the kit? Any instructions would be awesome.
Stock block. Looking at the 9psi.
I did all the other mods on the car myself and I have replaced just about everything on my Mountaineer from CV shaft out. I feel quite confident about doing the install and will probably enlist son in law to give a hand (if I can get him away from his 3 X Celica project).
My clutch is about over so I ordered stage 2 and install next week and inspection and new tires tomorrow. Back on the road again!

its not hard its time consuming. its much easier with a lift though when mounting the heat exchanger. but yea its not bad at all. probably took us a total of 20 hours doing it but thats because we ran into a couple speed bumps hahaha. i wouldnt do it yourself though you would need at least one other person. the KB unit itself weighs 75lbs and it would be tough setting that down on the motor.
Looks like we would have a very similar setup car wise from looking at your sig.
I can certainly enlist a friend to drop the blower in.
I can use the 70mm TB from my current setup but could I reuse my K+N CAI setup? Not sure if it will fit and I know the stock intake is long gone.

the 9psi 2.1 kb kit is time consuming, but its not hard to install. their instructions are very detailed and easy to follow, the only issue i ran in to was the lack of detailed instructions for installing the boost-a-pump... but i figured it out. i didnt use a lift, its not really necessary...
i was able to keep my bbk cai, and your +1 on the Throttle body, but i suspect that if you decide to go this route, you will prolly wish you had the 75 mm. also, the blower unit is heavy, so ask a friend to help you set it on the block...
from one car guy to another...
if i could have done it all over again... i would have bought the larger blower / tuner kit... sucked it up and bought a cowl hood so it would clear the snout. im looking at going forged and chasing more hp, and once i do that, my limiting factor will be the 2.1... just some food for thought
Anyone know what info Kenne Bell require when ordering? I am about to call them and purchase however if they want any kind of info regarding computer etc I am kinda screwed as the car is in the shop right now having the clutch fitted.
Thanks in advance. (Want to order it now!!!)
For the KB tune I was given a questionnaire to fill out that included questions about every mod the car had, gas quality and so on. They do need the computer info but all you need is the code (e.g. "MDE2") from a sticker on the passenger door or on the PCM itself. The shop with the car should be able to give you that info over the phone...
