I went to Home Depot and bought some 3/4" plywood and I had a couple of 2" x 4"'s lying around at home.
It took me 5 minutes to measure, design, cut, and build the thing. Left a little room on either side so the amps could breath, and used a dremmel to round the edges off.
Since I have the rubber boot cover I figured I didn't need to apply polyurethane...But now after having it a while I think I will since little bits of wood chip off due to "sprited" driving.
Basically, it's super easy to buil and it just took a few nails. I built it with three legs- twon on the side about 6" long, one in the back about 8", and it's sturdy as heck.

Front turn signals are 1156 buls, parking lights are 194's, fogs are h11's and you don't need to remove the bumper. I removed my wheels for easier access but others have done it without removing the wheel....

Word to the wise, there is an auction currently on ebay for about $102 right now that is selling the "same" kit.
My kit only came with a 15 psi boost gauge, not 30 psi which is what you get now.
The 15psi gauge is $180 by ITSELF new.
If you have a pulley and/or intake/exhaust, you will tap out the 15psi (as I am right now) but I don't mind cuz I like the movement and I don't really care how much psi I'm getting.
Also, the auction on ebay is like a WAY old kit that requires you to physically tap into the oil filter housing. My kit came with a brass adapter that you put into the stock oil pressure sender location (way easier).
Gotta be careful with ebay.....cuz you never know.....

Pulley
Short shifter
Rear Sway Bar
These were done all at the same time at Helix by Eric.
Love his stuff, love his shop, and yes, I love the pulley.
