Well, I just bought my an '06 GT and the dealer is installing the Roushcharger next week.
My questions are:

How important is it to install a boost gauge for the charger? I don't think it comes with one.

Is there anything special I should do to break everything in? The car only has 5 miles on it. I figure I probably shouldn't get on it for the first 500 miles or so (that's going to be tough). Are there any other things I should be aware of?

Lastly, How is the supercharger lubricated? I didn't see anything in the instructions about oil lines. Maybe it's not needed?? Obviously this is my first supercharger.

Thanks!

A boost gauge is nice but not needed, although they are helpful in diagnosing problems sometimes. The Roushcharger uses an Eaton M90 that has its own self-contained lubrication system. Don't forget to post pics of the installed kit! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] I'll be doing one this summer. Good choice for your first system, btw.

Your lubing is self contained, no worries.

Yes, if possible, add a boost guage.

Personaly, Unless the guage can be retrofitted into the dash like the Shelb's will be, I don't want one. I want my car looking as stock as possible. A nice sleeper.

Thanks to all for the input. Yes, the dealer assures me he's going to fill with super. Can't wait to pick it up!

Ok I just picked up my car last night. The Roush charger is quieter than I expected but I haven't taken it over 4000 rpm yet. It's soooooooo hard not to put my foot it in to it but I only have 60 miles on the car and I want to break it in some.

A while ago someone here posted the instructions for the Roush. My dealer seems to have lost them and I wanted to keep them with my stock parts. If you read this can you repost them?? I sure would appreciate it.
