Started installing the vortech. Thought I'd post some pics to see how it was coming along. First time I've done something like this. So far it's been, lets just say, interesting.
But darn am I excited to get this in!
Before anything was removed.

Can you keep a running time total? I am thinking of buying the Vortech non-intercooled kit and would love to install it myself. I just need to fit it into my schedule.

The instructions that came with the supercharger aren't the best. Might try and do a write up once I've finished. Oh, this is the aftercooled kit.

Yeah, it's a big help to those that are thinking about doing this.
I don't think I've have the patience to stop and take pictures while I was doing it.

Picture of the steel insert removed from coolant crossover tube. Directions said to heat and twist off using a vice. Hacksaw used in the right places worked fine.

New Thermostat hosing. Should do this after Mounting bracket installation, instead of before like instructions. Gets in the way of a bolt for mounting bracket. Ended up taking out.
