Well i decide today to tackle the supercharger land thing because i got free time. I began actually very late in the day to work on the install on my own. So i didnt finish the install because didnt want to work at night.
So fare i have done the following;
Removed Belt
Removed TB
Remove Intake Manifold
Remove EGR and Installed EGR Block
Remove 98 Starter and installed 01 Starter
Removed PVC Baffle
Removed Fuel Rail
Relocated IAT
Misc wire crap
Hardest part: EGR Pipe Bolts. GM decide to use bolts that are different from entire car. They used a bolt with a Hex key top. I didnt have anything beside a simple hex key L shaped key. It took forever and played havoc on my hands to open those bolts. I had barely any space to turn the bolts.
Beside that so fare its pretty straight forward. I however not sure how to remove injector connectors and injectors from rail.
im gonna find both cars .. and take pics of them.. then go home and photoshop his engine bay into my pics ..
haha
Just curious, what are you doing for a tune?
Im running a 1bar at the moment, but have been obligated to try the fake 2bar tune...
Sorry dude. I really wanted to come help you out, but after 8 hours of working on my own car and not finishing it, I just really didn't feel like it especially with my hardest final exam tomorrow. This is my busiest week otherwise I'd love to help.

Looks good... it's funny everybody complains about those EGR bolts and I've never had an issue removing them. You just need the right tools I guess.
How'd you like tightening the flange bolts? lol. Def my least fav part.
Good luck with it!

Slowly but surely may some day win this race...
Hopefully the reflash works well for you...I'm dealing with one issue that won't go away and because of this issue the car in in the garage under a cover now...!
The reflash took care of 16 of my issues.....and left one pain in the a$$ issue to deal with...
Good luck..!
Not doing reflash, whats your main problem
I added you Chris....
Me and my crappy pc skills....

I dont know if you would really call it "OLD" the supercharger itself is new, the components are used.. Unless i am wrong?
Anyway thanks
Sweet, the fire will be a nice sleeper once your all done.
Thought those brackets looked gold in the pics lol, yea I know the sc itself just meaning it came from Jason.
