I feel so honored to be the first comment. All of my hardwork and dedication has paid off. Getting to be the first comment on an important thread has been a dream of mine for many years, and I would like to thank those who have helped me along the way. First and foremost I would like to thank TCBob for giving me this opportunity. Next I would like to thank my parents for bringing me into this world. I would also like to thank my pet goldfish for surviving against all odds. Next I would like to thank all the mods and members of Tacomaworld, this is a special moment in my life and I would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be the moment that I will never forget. I just remembered a couple other people I would like to thank. I would like to thank my dog for always being around when I'm alone at home, the light that makes it possible for me to see the keyboard, the internet for letting me go on TW, and last but not least I would like to thank all the people with no lives who took the time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal this is to me. I have been trying to snag this opportunity for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me how I did this, I would say, you can achieve anything you set your mind on. To all the kids out their reading this, I would like to tell them to follow their dreams. Being the top comment is amazing, thank you TW.

Looks good so far man! Good idea. SManZ has a good DIY supercharger install write up on here you can add. I'm sure that list will grow quite a bit and be ever expanding.
