My supercharger is in the mail, so I'm looking at an installation sometime next weekend. I've done what homework I can (Gadget, TRD manual), but does the board have any additional advice or tips?

Specifically, what things should I prepare for (specialty tools, parts, gaskets) and what other things should I do @ the same time? Anyone have tips or additions to the TRD instructions to make the process go a little smoother? I'll take great care when handling the MAF sensor -- what other parts are ultra-sensitive?


Thanks for the help, I have a week and a half to prepare.

 

Lucky dog.

 

The manual that comes with it has great directions. Long as you follow that, you will have no problems.


Have fun!

 

Plan on 4 hours, I had the most trouble with the A/C and P/S belts, once you figure out how they work, the rest is basic wrenching. The extension for the oil dip stick took a little bending to get that to fit.

 

I had to buy some vacuum line for my install. What year is yours?

The reason I had to buy more lines is because my Power Steering pump had a vacuum line that went to the stock manifold.

 

Sorry -- forgot to mention the details. I've got a 2002. Any particular tricks/difficulties with this year? I see a lot of stuff for the EGR valve (not on this year, right?)..

 

Sorry to cut in, but I think the EGR "issue" is referring to the header install. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

you are right my friend

 

Make sure that you do Gadget's "free fmu mod" while you are there.

Good luck with the install. You are well on your way to smiling more often.

 

thanks for the tips, fellas..

any recommendations on which injectors to go for? i like the idea of the plug-n-play supra injectors. any feedback?

thanks in advance.
