Default Ordering Blower next week need some info

well it looks like i'll be joining the darkside and ordering a comptech supercharger next week from corsport. as there the cheapest ive seen so far. my question is i'm not exactly confident on doing the install myself so i was leaning towards the peace of mind of a professional installation. anyone know any reputable socal shops that are trustworthy and up to job? I'm a little hesitant to allow just anyone to work on my car.. i'd love to do it myself but the belts and FPR mods kinda scare me.

thanks.

i think he is just referring to adjusting the fuel amounts. fpr= fuel pressure regulator or AFPR (adjustable fuel pressure regulators). used with an FMU you can control the amount for fuel that is sent. an FMU will increase fuel when under boost, an AFPR will allow you to tune it better and be more precise with the amount of fuel you send from idle all the way WOT.

yeah. you have to remove the rear seats and pull the FPR out of the gas tank and then use comptechs tool or something and crush it so it puts out more fuel pressure or something like that. I'm not all that confident with that, and the belts, pulleys up front.

located in the 805 bout 20 min from LA if that helps. was hoping to find any shops with experience
