what other things would i need buy in order to hook it up?
i know ill need piping for it. and a heat sink. and i think a pulley still as well.

what else would i need to get it installed?

personally I'd get a boost gauge, a/f ratio guage, and a piggy back or other means of keeping the a/f ratio in the right area. Don't deal much with superchargers though.

i knew the boost gauges and ecu stuff.
where can i have a custom belt made??
Mounting bracket should be no problem although me not know much about these types of sc's where should i plan on mounting it?

I would say back-side... kinda opposite where your power steering pump is. That puts it just above the steering rack.

As for the belts, you may be able to use an existing belt, or order a specific length belt, but it must be the same groove pattern. Easiest way is to measure what you think is right to within an inch or so and then call the company who makes your belt (Gates, Dayco, Goodnyear, etc). They can tell you if they have a groove patterned belt in the right length or how long it would take to get one.

If it's an odd size, I'd get a few...

Also, what is the boost amount you were looking at? It's all based on the pulley interchange, and since you can't swap the lower one you'll need to be careful with the ratio you select.

well im looking right now to get about 150-160 to the wheels. so im guess around 7-10 psi.

however later on would i be able to boost up to get over 200 to the wheels?

Not sure if you're running stock internals tbh. Would your gearbox hold that amount too? Also are you plannin on lowering the compression? Or am I way off here?

i should be fine on stock everything at 150-160whp
any thing more than that i would need a new tranny....and when i wanna go even more ill need to upgrade my pistons.
the L91 has forged rods already.
