Installing Imagine Automotive Super Charger on my 1998 2.5 Boxster

Finished getting the AEM Gauges installed.

Here I installed the wood veneer from a kit I had. This is the piece that would normally be used to
surround the cassette or CD holder.



In this pic, I cut two pieces of wood to fill in the center section. I used a dremel to grind the extra off.



Here's a couple of shots with the completed install. Chose the silver bezels to match the main gauges.
You can see how the Apexi AFC slides out and into the pocket I built.






Here's the install of the Boost Gauge sensor. I will install the Wide Band O2 sensor once I install the
200 Cell Fabspeed Cats next week.



The Boost Gauge sensor then attaches to the vacuum line upstream of the throttle body.

Couple of questions (if answered in the previous posts, my bad).
- Are you going to run with the stock injectors and fuel pump?
Or have you upgraded these?

At this time I will be using stock injectors and fuel pump. I can always upgrade if I need to. But most of what I've read says that it won't be necessary with the amount of boost I anticipate.

Been traveling, so just now getting back to the SC install.

To keep temps in control, I decided to remove the headers so I could wrap them with an exhaust wrap.

The tie wraps are temporary. Replacing them with hose clamps.

100ft was just enough to wrap the headers and the new Fabspeed 200 cell cats.

Did the same wrap mod. to my Boxster last summer.

I would strongly recomend to wrap the cat part, I believe it's more vital than the midpipe section.

Be sure to have the injectors cleaned & tested 1st so you can work with a known quantity.

What differences are you guys noticing with the wrapped exhaust systems?

Thanks. This may be a dumb question, but they have to be removed to do that?
