    Okay so i bought the Northstar kit off someone from here a few months ago and it came with the bolts, the adaptor plate, lq4 maf, and tb.

    Can you tell from any of these pictures if this is the correct adaptor plate or if it just someone's hack job. If its not the right one, then i would rather just get a stage 2 tb from zzp

    The big holes are where it bolts up to the supercharger. If the tb bolts up to the small holes then yes.

    Okay so i originally wanted this upgrade so that my stock MAF would not be maxed out. I got all the parts you see listed in the above pic for 100 dollars which isnt bad. I just need a few more things to get it to work. I am pretty sure, I lost interest in doing a northstar. I have a ported gen 3 OUTLET but the inlet is stock. Does anyone run a northstar or used to with a stock inlet on gen 3? There is no drilled hole on the side for the brass fitting to connect so i would have to use a drill press just to get it to work. ZZP is the only site i have seen that sells a N* adaptor plate for 100 dollars but they also say you need to have an inlet ported out to 75mm. I see how the plate is going to fit onto the supercharger with the new allen bolts but there is NO WAY the N* is going to bolt up to the adaptor plate! Is it even worth it to go through all this headache for this upgrade? I hear the stock TB is good up till 350whp just like the stock exhaust. Well if i am not even at 300whp then how am i maxing out the maf? Is there an upgrade to just keep the stock tb and upgrade the maf?

    Who has a northstar setup and what do like about it or hate about it?
