What brand and version IC do you have. Because I know the zzp ones need to have the ported lower intakes to keep the pcv function function able. You should be fine with your stock injectors down to a 3.1 pulley but you should do something like a fuel pump rewire. But also how far you can push your stock injectors also depends on the condition of your fuel system, like the pump, and filter.

    I am not sure what is up with the signature, I am adding it manually here. I do not plan on porting the blower. I believe this is an Intense 2" intercooler, as I know it is not the MAP one...the core on this one is pretty good. I will be sure to add in the fuel pump rewire...are there any instructions on that floating around? I am curious as it how intensive it will be before I get into it.

    The fuel pump rewire requires you to open your trunk, unbolt a couple of bolts and plug it into the fuel pump, find a nice ground and then run it to the front of the car to the fuse box.

    I'm not sure on Intense's IC need for LIM porting. But regardless, all that happens is you knock a section out of the LIM like andrew said, not too extravagant but it is better off you do it and get done with it.

    You can get a I/C pump relay from W-body store I believe for wiring.

    It is best to find someone local to help you, or to buy a full kit with directions, but since you already have the stuff, it will take a little patience to learn how to do it right and a lot of good judgement on who you listen to on here.

    The only reason I mentioned porting the blower was to allow you to get full use out of the IC. Maybe this link will help INTENSE-Racing.com: <b><i>INTENSE</b></i>™ Ported Gen 3 M90 Supercharger Housing
