HELP: Some few Install questions

AIRBOX SENSORS: - MAF: Is it only the MAF sensor which will be used, or also the
- Other sensor on the airbox? How/where should it be mounted? I see that there are some few vacuum lines on this - are they supposed be connected?

VACUUM OVERFLOW: Where should the nipple on the overflow valve (SC) be connected?

VACUUM THROTTLE BODY: Where should the little hose nipple pointg forward in the car be connected? Is the between the Throttle body and the Overflow from the Supercharger?

Support bar / Supercharger brace:
Wwhich side should it be installed? Only one in the kit.

Accessory bag1: Where do you use these parts? Is it for the Intercooler installation?

Small fuseboxes: Anyone with a good soloution on these?

Leftover cable plug right side:
Near the alternator and VVT solenoid area there is a loose cable (plug). Is this ment to be loose or should it be connected somwhere? I could not find any place to put it and I don't remember from when I took the items apart
The VVT is fine, the injectors are in place and the alternator cables are in place.

Dipstick:
A bit loose, but believe it will be good when I get everything in place Hopefully it don't leak.

You will only reuse the Mass Air Flow Sensor the Airbox will not be reused.

The Bypass Valve should be connected to the 4mm vaccum piece found closest to the Bypass valve on the side of the Throttle body Casting.

The passenger side bracket is the only one needed. This will limit any left and right movement.

Zip tie them to the ecu harness

The connector that you have left over is the one which should be connected to the Purge Solenoid Valve. The Dipstick should be fine as long as you have used the O-ring.

Just be sure to install the pulley before you install and tighten the brace/tie-rods. The tie rods can slightly twist the alignment of the supercharger and cause the pulley to rub. So you want the pulley to still be able to rotate freely after you tighten down the tie-rods. So like for me tightening the tie-rods one way caused the pulley to rub on the bracket, so I had to tighten it the other way. This is not mentioned in the instructions (I dont think).

At the intake manifold. You will need to tap the manifold to accept an npt fitting.
