Don't be bashful. The blowoff sounds like a snarling monster and probably terrorizes young children.
The install was done by the technicians at ATI here in Lenexa as part of a limited invite only Beta test program. Very clean. Notice the RH valve beauty cover. Even better than their ad photo. Took the time to cope out only what was needed for the bracket and idler pulley (instead of a large scallop like the ad photo). This is the way to do this IMHO.

That some nice upgrade to your beautiful car. Rest looks stock so it'll be a real sleeper until you hear the ProCharger's whistle.
Curious though, at full throttle, can you describe the sound? Does the whistling get alot louder, or exhaust sound louder (that before the procharger)..
Appreciate the pics and info.

All pros so far.

The way I understand it (somebody correct me if I am wrong), the blowoff valve opens when the manifold is under vacuum, and closes under boost.
When idling around town (under vacuum) you can hear the whine of the impeller (sounds a little like a jet engine whine)…
When you get above part throttle, you can definitely hear the blowoff valve close (hissing sound goes away somewhat)
Under hard acceleration, between shifts you hear a sort of pop hiss sound that is very cool. Sounds a little like a rattle snake.

It will get quiet after some time. I have figured out a way to install the kit without losing ground clearance after doing it a few times. An inch plus loss of clearance on the front end kinda sucks. good clean install though. props
enjoy!
