Sooooo after the BWR supercharger group buy, i was curious if anyone else braved installing it themselves. My brother and i knocked it out one weekend back in November. Lets see those pics!!

Since there are no actual pic's of the supercharger here I guess I'll post some of mine. I put mine in about 10 months or so ago.. Took 9 1/2 hrs by myself with the clam on.. I have lots of tools and I've been working on cars since I was 10 years old. 27 years of experience makes things go much faster.

Very nice!

I put a T3/T4 hybrid on my old XR4Ti and promptly blew the engine up a week later as the waste gate failed and I hit 27PSI

Nice clean install. Why the clear tube from the catch can?

If I see oil in it then it's time to empty the catch can..

I used my air saw. It uses a hacksaw blade and kicks butt for stuff like that and it's fast.
