It a long process. They sent kit that was not complete with hoses and pcm. Now stuff has been shipped I think ti should be at the dealer finally. It took good three months to get the kit.

I also got new hood, but manufacturer sent Gen2 hood ;-( it only took 4 months to arrive.

Never messed with superchargers before. Had a TRX for 18 months and left it alone…not sure why but I’ve only had this R for 90 days and I’m contemplating this upgrade. Whats a ballpark for installation costs? Whipple site states a lot of guys install themselves…anybody contemplating going that route?

I've had few installed and never even thought about doing it myself. Whatever route you take, I suggest wait a little. I ordered mine in late November, and I had part shipped to my dealer in drops. Finally I think mechanical parts have arrived, but instructions are missing and tune is still not ready.

I will do this mod 100% to my r... but I'm waiting until the Tuning bugs are worked out. You will have issues I'm sure with tuning... the Tuning companies are delayed big time with the 23+ trucks, leads me to believe these things are tricky.
I don't have time at this point to go back and forth for Tuning revisions etc etc(been down that road when I performed a stage 3 kit on My mclaren 600lt).
I'm sure it'll be great when the Tuning is mastered but for now- I'm watching.

The truck is already setup for a blower. All you are doing is swapping the charger, belt, T/B and the fuel rails, plus flashing the new tune. You'll need 2 guys to handle the supercharger though.

Only that I got the truck back today, and it is a monster. I’ll throw it on the rollers as soon as I get a chance.
