Default Supercharger Install Status

Well the blower and A/C came a couple days ago. I checked off all of the parts, read the manual front to back a few times, and made sure I had most of the tools to get started. I removed my Airbox and lines and got to step 4 when I realized that maybe I hadn't quite checked off all of the parts. Long story short I was missing a few critical pieces and had to make a few phone calls, send a few PM's, and then finally return her to stock. BUMMER. Oh well, everything has been sent out so I should have it by the end of the week...

Ok, now for my progress. Tonight I got bored and decided to get the fuel pump out of the way since I could replace that and still drive it. After about 1 hour and 15 minutes and a helping hand I had it in with no leaks. WOW! this thing is loud compared to stock.

As soon as everything else comes, the front bumper will come off and I will be borrowing cars until it is finished. Of course I will keep everyone posted on the progress along the way. Here's what is all going in:
Comptech S/C
Aftercooler
Spearco Front Mount
Godzilla BOV

I predict that it will not last long. I can't afford to replace it yet so I will not be driving too hard.

Awesome! Definately keep us updated. Once it's all done, I really want to know how the Godzilla BOV sounds in person. I heard a video of it and it sounds awesome! Keep it up!

Reading over your post again folex, when you refer to "Spearco front mount" you are talking about the bigger radiator right? Because you can't use a front mount intercooler with an aftercooler. Not trying to be an ass or anyhting, I'm just making sure you are fetting the right stuff.

Yes, I am referring to the Spearco front mount radiator for the A/C. I believe Tech2 sells them
