Got my kit installed over the weekend. Paxton 2200 kit with Boost Referenced fuel pump booster, and ID1000's. Ken is still working on the tune/datalogging. Sure isnt alot of room to work in there once you start putting on the intercooler piping. LOL

Well I got a Paxton for xmas for the 2012 an I’m about 3.5 hour’s into the install and I can say I get frustrated from time to time an have to step away before I just start breaking stuff lol as the clearance's are close to say the least.

Just go easy and be gentle. Some have punctured their radiator by getting grumpy, lol.

Its definitly tight working on it. Just take your time. Its worth it when you get to feel the tires frying at 60 mph!

I just got off work I decided to break up into section's as I'm not known for my patience and the first 3.5 hours is all I could with stand for one sitting. I know what you guys mean about the rad mine is basically smooth all over now as I put it in the first time an was like there's no way this is going to clear piping. With that being said I'm going to try an run the hot side hopefully it goes smooth but I don't see how im getting the pipe an bov in that small area lol. Here we go.

Do you have a track pack or a BOSS? If so, get ready for a mind fuck and angry sharks. lol. Regular radiators are a dream for space compared to the boss radiator.

Connect the valves boost pressure hose to it NOW! Not later. The steps have you do it after you put a fuck pile of tubing in your way, and you will be like, "wtf Paxton, you couldn't put that step in earlier?"

Just connect it to the bung on the valve and let it hang, you will connect the other side later.

Thanks for the tip gizmo5. Well I just got the fan in an all the hot side piping an hopfully it's tight enough not to pop off going to take a break for dinner. This is going a little slower then I like but I have my wife helping which isnt all that bad since she paid for it.

suprised at all the issues some are having. I actually didn't run into any untill after the kit was on and started to get coolant leaks from the hose that had to be cut, hint of advice for anyone though try and get the chrome shit off the adapter pipe, and also after installing it and driving it, take the bumper back off and re tighten the crappy clamps on the intercooler piping

Make sure you tighten the modified radiator hose clamps right after the flares on the 90deg chrome piece. Tight.

Ordered my ID1000's, the 47lb injectors were just not enough, pegged at 100% at 6k rpm.

Going to get a retune next week. Should be a bit safer.

Thanks Beefcake for a great deal!
