My kit is a 100% stock HO and I still have that surge described in the first post. But I know where to expect it and power out of it or shift before it. Besides that 1 hiccup, I've learned to accept it. I figure the car is still so much stronger than stock that a little hiccup is a small price...
It takes 3 to 5 hrs to install a procharger. There is no splicing or hacking and everything is plug and play. Returning it to stock would be even faster. I've never installed or removed a PD blower so I can't comment on that. But I know the procharger inside and out and it's a breeze.
Piece of cake, just follow the provided instructions and you'll be fine. Just make sure you email your factory tune to procharger a day or 2 before you do the install so you'll have your tune ready to go. And don't make the same mistake I did.... Gap your plugs! FYI, the blower inlet elbow on my...
Depth is same as stock. The mufflers are Welded in Borla stingers, however I initially had the stock tips welded to the stingers before I replaced them with these. They should work on your OE mufflers just fine. Lining them up seemed pretty easy (muffler shop did it in about 10 minutes).

Please explain. I know Adrian_Mak who is a Procharger vendor on this site is running a oil separator in his car. Is running a Oil separator frowned upon?
I had the same problem, but keep in mind the kit comes with 2 elbows, 1 for the blower air intake and I for the intake in the motor. I had the elbows swapped as one is slightly larger than the other. (Outer diameter is the same but not the inner diameter). Swapped the elbows and problem solved.
I went with procharger for 3 reasons. (1) Easy to install,(2)less prone to heat soak (Important as my daily commute consists of 100 miles), and (3) cost. Other factors I considered were reputation and ease of reversal (If I ever wanted to remove it). I have a car with great power (Enough to hurt...
