He didn't create a sturdy enough bracket for it, and he had issues with it being blown off when the throttle was closed.
    Well it's like a turbo when installed in that configuration. You need to bleed off the pressure when the throttle snaps shut, if you don't have a BOV it's going to find another escape route!

    This almost seems easier to me than turbo. No need to fab turbo headers and exhaust, which is a plus since I dropped some coin already on custom exhaust for the truck. If I don't like it I can just take it all off and keep driving.

    The only other worry is the noise. Apparently the M90's can be pretty loud. Like, we all want the sweet supercharger noises coming from under our hoods, but excessive amounts of noise could annoying. We will see.
