So, here's where I stand now:
My car went to the dyno this past Monday for tuning by Logan Carswell of Defined Autoworks. It was supposed to be tuned to 8 lbs of boost. I was told to expect around 220-230whp.
I got a call from Logan shortly before I was supposed to pick the car up, saying that the tune went really well, but the car was only making 4 lbs of boost, instead of the 8 it was supposed to.
After some drama, he agreed to give me a discount on a re-tune. I since discovered that I had some oddball 5" pulley on the thing, instead of the 3.75" pulley that's required to run 8 lbs of boost. With that, I made 175hp, well short of the expected 220. Since then, I was able to contact Craig Conley of Paradise Wheels (the company that supports the supercharger) and was able to score the last one of the original 3.75" pulley that he had in stock!
I've now got that in hand, and will be ready to slap that on in a couple days.... before that, though, Logan and I need to sort out an issue with AFT (which is used to lubricate the supercharger) escaping/spraying out into the engine bay.
I'll end this post on the most positive note I have on the project so far: After picking up the car on Monday, and having to wait for two days for a dry enough day to take the car out, I managed to barely avoid getting pulled over my first time hitting boost getting on the freeway. I also managed to get in a few drives with my housemate (with him in his STi.) Even at 4 lbs, the car feels good. At 8 lbs, it should be a whole lot better. I should know for sure this Wednesday
