How are you going to mount the SC?

I think you had better know what you are doing before making this purchase. Not saying you can't make it work, but I would hate to be the first to try without extensive support. Then again, you may be far more adept at this sort of thing than myself.

The mount is the easy part. Pulley size/location, piping, intercooler, will add up to the cost unless you skip the intercooler initially similar to the original SRT Stage 1 kits. Keep in mind that many other parts are still required and they do add up quickly. Still... it can be done and you may save some $$ though the entire process would probably take a bit longer than a kit.
If you go for it, let us know.

If you go on lextreme website u'll see the supercharger sits in a different spot than RMM's, would you know anyone that has used the lextreme bracket on the GS430/400 and was successful. where does the RMM oil feed line come in your RMM kit and where does it return to. Thanks for replying, I'll defenetly keep posting if Iam able to make it work.

This is actually part of what I was talking about/around in my previous posts. Because the SC sits in a different spot there may be a lot of stuff that needs to be repositioned to make the install work. I simply would not want to be the first one.

You are probably the first, so we are all actually waiting for you to answer these questions for us !

The SC is on the wrong side for a GS. You won't be able to move the Electronics box that is in the way on that side unless you wanna lengthen 100 bizillion wires coming out of it.

The Lextreme bracket looks like it "might" be reversible, so that you can put it on the other side.

Lextreme knows more about this than any of us, since it is his product. So contact him on whether the bracket is reversable.

Good Luck
