Not to threadjack but...
Well I've heard rumors you can retain your factory warranty with a Stillen supercharger, any idea how true that is? Another big thing for me is reliability...
I am biased to the turbo sound though, no comparison. I need to shop around for pricing as well... I would like to spend around 7K (not including clutch or exhaust) and My goals are about 450-500 on pump. =P

Back on topic, yes, I book marked this. I must have one! I don't mind paying a pretty penny to someone who provides good build quality and takes pride in their work.

Do some searching on the site for Stillen supercharger. I think there was a member who had one installed and he destroyed his engine. I think it was install related and the Nissan dealer who installed it was giving him a hard time about warranting the repairs.

As for the pillar, let me know when you're ready

What if you tried to put the gauge pods closer together so they look like they are stacked on top of each other? Would that work?

Yes, it works. I also tried side by side.

The only issue with what you're suggesting is it blocks quite a bit of vision at that corner. If your'e ok with the blind spot, then no problem.

The single pod is the least intrusive option..

How is the side by side then? Or does that look weird?
