Beginning Stages of the ATI procharger on my 04 coupe 5AT!!

Definately listen to KPierson, he's been there done that... and then I bought his ProCharger from him!
ATI has a pretty bad rep with the VQ blowing up engines [I think its why more people go with the Vortech].
I had SGP install and tune the ProCharger with the eManage Ultimate and it ran nice... but had kinks. Sometimes cruising in D at around 40-45mph [right after it gets into 5th gear] the A/F would go all the way to 17.0 and stay there until you blipped the throttle. It had a hard start condition most the time, which I still have but the UTEC helped a little. Because of some of the gremlins the car had with the EU, I never would track it, always thinking it'd wig out like it did everyday cruising... with the UTEC the car runs much smoother and is a lot easier to drive around in stop and go traffic.
So +1 all the other guys that say get a A/F gauge. I have a wideband from AEM. It's worked well. I think it cost me about $300.
Good luck with the ProCharger, keep us updated. Who's tuning it?

Innovate FTW! I got my SC installed about a month ago. I keep my eyes glued on the A/F at all times! Heres a good location to have it.
A local member from chicagoz.com did the fiberglass work for me and did an amazing job. He is starting to do work for other people too. LMK if you want a nice custom look too. I will let him know that your interested and ship one out to you if you want.
Here are where I put the other three gauges (Boost, EGT, and Oil Pressure) He is doing the fiberglass on these three next week! Can't wait...

I love them! Super responsive and they look great. I have the SLM II version. Its a little bit more pricey then the X-line. I say get them.
I got them from:

well......i dropped the car off this past monday night....work started on the car wednesday night when the bumper was removed and taken to the body shop to have the grilles tacked into the new nismo front bumper and the toe hook cut-out for install. I then had discussed with my shop guy to upgrade the radiator since he was pulling it to install the OEM crank pulley back. So we ordered a KOYO radiator for the install...the radiator came in yesterday and it was damaged....so that could not be installed....on top of that i had him order the Custom Polished piping for the pro-charger to give it a clean look and match my engine bay. Well upon recieving that lastnight in the mail...they sent him the wrong piping for my car. So that is on order again and wont be in until next week along with the radiator. So to make a long story short the only work that has been done so far is dropping off of the bumper to get the work done on it.
I will provide further updates once new parts are recieved. This now means that i wont make it out to Import Face-off this week here in Ennis Texas. Ohwell..guess i have to go to the SAn Antonio one in December.

my guy that i am dealing with from my shop ordered it for me. Its a Koyo Radiator..do a search for the KOYO Radiator for the 350z.....i believe THmotorsports on here sells one.
What it does is allow for your car to run cooler. Obviously a colder car will run better. PLus the radiator is all aluminum....looks better too.
