Has anyone installed HPS Gen I themselves?
I'm going to buy a 1st generation HPS supercharger system and I want to do the install my self. The system looks very simple. No, water lines, oil lines or intercooler. Has anyone installed one them selves or had their local mechanic install one. How long did it take and is it as easy as I'm guessing?
Thanks.

I'm seriously considering a Gen II system.
Can anyone share their thoughts on what has to be done with a self install?
Does it come with bigger injectors, does the ECU have to be updated (I have a 2002 CLK 430 Cabriolet), etc.?
I want a 4.9 or less (0-60) ride with 400-425HP. Can the HPS run with an underdrive Pulley ket as well? My car is bone stock right now.
