Finished installing my SDS today
Let me start by saying its great. The install took a total of about 15 hrs. This was with my dad who is a mechanic and I've done everything from building my own motors to swaps to turbos. There was some custom work, like rerouting my power steering lines, moving my battery to the trunk, shortening the piping and redrilling the notch for the dowel pin to line up the sds pulley(i'm going there to let them take measurements). I also had a small issue with one of the wires from the black box. It said to hook it up to the white wire at pin # 76. I saw three white wires next to each other and no way to know what # was what. at first I had it wrong and it ran like crap. Then I noticed I hooked up a wire to pin 81 (the only gray wire) and counted over from there. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 7. not to hard but very time consuming. Ripp was very helpful with all my questions on the phone, and didn't leave me on hold or tell me to call back later.
I don't think my ECU has fully adjusted yet and I still have to change my plugs to one colder, but it pulls hard and drives pretty smooth. There is a great blow off valve that bleeds off boost when driving easy and holds when you get on it. So far I am very happy and I will update you all in like a week after I change the plugs and let the ECU adjust. Hopefully I'll get to the track in a couple of weeks (depends on the wife).

For smog, you gotta know somebody. But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Where I live they put your car on the rollers and all, but my car is registered at my dads house which is one county north and all they do is look for your cats.
