However, for me, in the state that I live in, with the limitations that I have, yes for the most part a TII will be considerably heavier.
You expect to still pass emissions in Cali with the camden supercharger!? Ever notice on their site it says NOT LEGAL IN STATES WITH EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
Well actually, here's the exact quote from their HOME PAGE "Not for sale or use on emission controlled vehicles."
Do you really honestly expect to still pass? Try to add some bigger injectors and a higher flow fuel pump too! You'll really still be passing then...

You can replace your cat with an aftermarket cat in Cali.
The mods difference is typical for a Turbo II owner.
Stock mufflers and y-pipe are heavy.
Running an N1 single type cat-back is some serious weight drop.
Aftermarket cat is ligher than stock.
I used to live in Cali.
You're overstating the emissions requirements to keep the car legal.
How much you think the ACV, EGR (which no Kouki / S5 FC had), vacuum hoses / pipes, and solenoids weigh?
Don't be using emissions as an excuse...

I hold about 1.6 gallons (on purpose, lots of fluid means more linear temps throughout, result of a lot of testing on my part).
I'll snap pics tonight when I get home.
Oh, and my 7 is heavier then all of yours, so MEH! Cast Iron V8s and big *** chevy trannies will do that. I bet I weight almost 3000 lbs with a full tank and me not in it! That's a fat 7.
Horrid weight balance too. LOL, just playin' guys!

Back on topic: I know Code Blue 2 (sort of) and will see her car in action at a drag strip later this month. She has the Camden 7" supercharger on it with aftermarket efi, and is predicting a 12 second quarter mile time with proper traction. That would be sweet!

More pictures of my resevoir setup.
Clear hose (so I can see flow)
Res
Res 2 (and yes, that airbox is sealed from engine heat, just doesn't look like it at this angle)
hose layout
Overall engine bay (shiiiiiiiiny!) []
That's how mine is setup. Water flows from the resevoir, to the pump (in fenderwell), to the aftercooler, to the radiator (front mount heat exchanger) back to the res, and cycles. I can drain the res. with a petcock, and it self bleeds itself. Makes it easy to maintain/fill/drain.

Poor red neck, I here you talkin! After I recover from everything else I just spent I'm gonna get the camden kit too. I already love the car and Ive spent about three times what it is worth already. To each his own, some of us just don't want the same thing everyone else has.
I don't want to get flamed, but I know lots of people who smoke 2-3 packs a day, go through a case of beer a week, and think nothing of dropping $100 at a strip club every Friday night, then tell me I'm wasting my money on my car! They can do and say what they want, but at least on Monday morning I still have the car!

I have all faith in Camden, doesnt bother me when some say they are not good. Ive had Camdens superchargers in my car for the past 4 years, and have never had any probs. Though when I first went Camden I had the old style blower on the car. Atkins was cool and upgraded to a new blower for me. They really stand behind what they are selling....Go for it....
