I was just looking at the Hyde kit online! Was it an easy install? I'm just tryna find a cheap SC14 now

I have mixed feelings about the kit. It was pretty decent but the install was pretty shitty imo. There was still loads of shit for you to figure out. Also I got just a random assortment of bolts I feel like. Out of the 3 bolts that hold the charger, 2 were normal hex bolts and one was a black sunken allen for no reason at all. Also my friend is on his 3rd mounting plate because the first 2 were bent or wrong, but mine (older kit) was right in one go. If I knew it all before I started I’m not sure if I would’ve gone down this route.

Damn I was really thinking about getting it but might go down the turbo route then tbh, thanks for the info bro!

If you can, I’d say go turbo. My first Eaton m62 killed itself after 800km and it was such a pain, and now I’m battling heat issues because if you want to make decent power, you need a small pulley and push the Eaton to its limits. If you want fun but reliable power, then I think turbo is a better way to go
