just do the 3. which is air intake system,high performance exhaust system and finally a pcm tune and it will be much cheaper. and a better bang to your buck. i actually looked in to super charging my 06 engine and the kit i found was like $2,000 and it only comes with a short warranty like 30 days or some crap so i was like forget it and after every 1's help here i did the big 3 like a year ago and was very happy. i bought a true flow air intake for $200 and went with that one cause it retained the factory air box and then bought a k&n air filter for arround $30 then found a kick a$$ deal on a magnaflow dual cat back exhaust for $300 new from magnaflow cause it was on sale for $600 and then a instant rebate for $300 and then finally i sent my pcm out to pcmforless and did that when they ran a group buy here on the forums and think i paid $130 but not sure. total arround $660 spent compaired to the $2g for charger and then the install at my custom shop $100hr and 10-13 hr install was looking arround $3,000 to $3,300 total so do the math of about $2,700 diffrence and money saved. that was my situation. dont no what superchargers cost for a 07 and if u are installing yourself then u save alot of money so good luk and hoped i helped shed some lite on the subject

Yup, you can throw your warranty out the window with a supercharger!

just check the web sites and see where they ship. u can buy a air intake at almost any car auto parts store and are easy to self install and i would think out of all the sites there has to be 1 that would ship to u. as for a exhaust same thing check arround and see who ships but the only thing is they are real big meaning they come in a big box packed very well and will probally cost u a butt load to send to u but check arround. the pcm tune i got from pcmforless.com so check there site to see if they ship to u and remember u want the pcm tune last cause they will tune it to the new mod's u have. good luk and if i run across any sites that ship to the middle east will let u no but am sure they want more specific'c then middle east.

UAE Boy,

I live in Qatar and have just did the big 3 to my 2006 H3.

For the intake I used an Air Docs CAI. Installation was fairly easy and took about 1 hr (30 min to get the pipe with the smallest clamp over the throttle body intake! A slightly bigger clamp would have made it easier!). About $150 + about $50 shipping.
It took about 10 days to arrive.
You will also need to supply yourself with a Hi Performance air filter. K & N air filters are available in Dubai. I ordered mine from the US for about $65 with shipping.

I used Zoomers exhaust and the install was very easy. I went to a local repair shop and with me helping it took less than 1 hr to install (for QR250). The sound is very good but not overly loud and at cruising speed no loud drone inside the truck. About $699 + $250 Shipping quoted (I just got my credit card statement to find that they charged about $150 more- emailing them to find out why). It took about 6 days to arrive.

(good pics and video clips of the exhaust)


Tuning the PCM can be done several different ways. I chose the most expensive which is to purchase the tuning software/hardware and then have PCMforless do a tune for me and I flashed my PCM myself. There are cheaper ways of doing it but you have to remove your PCM and ship it to the US and be without you H3 for a few weeks or have a loaner PCM shipped out... it all gets a bit to hard. The Software/Hardware (HP Tuners) I bought from PCMforless for $499 + about $50 shipping and the tune for $150. Installing the software on my computer took 10 minutes, reading the original tune took about 10 minutes, I emailed it to PCMforless and the next day they emailed me back a new tune which took about 5 minutes to reflash my PCM. The good deal about doing it this way is that I have 3 friends that want to do their PCMs also so they will share the cost of the software/hardware with me. The shipping time was about 10 days.

I also changed my tires to BFG 285/75-R16 A/T on the stock rims. Great improvement driving in the sand and looks of the H3. I picked them up for QR685 per tire (shop around- some shops in Doha wanted up to QR1300 per tire!)
http://www.gmhummer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=297
(good info on driving on the sand, good pics on page 3 and some places you might be able to get the tires in Dubai)

I feel the improvement in performance and drivability is great and well worth the money spent.

Hope this info helps!
