A. Slide the 1” x 6” hose clamps and bypass valve

to the supplied 1” plastic 90° elbow which mounts

into the aluminum discharge duct. Make sure

the 5/32” nipple on the bypass valve is pointing

away from the discharge duct. (See Fig. 10-c.)

B. Install the 1” x 6” hose, #16 hose clamps and

bypass valve to the supplied 1” plastic 90° elbow

which mounts into the aluminum discharge duct.

Make sure the 5/32” nipple on the bypass valve

is pointing away from the discharge duct.

C. Install the plastic discharge tube onto the throttle

body. Slide the 3” sleeve and #48 clamps onto

the tube. Next, connect the supercharger to the

plastic tube using the 90° discharge tube/bypass

valve assembly. Align the bypass valve, all hoses

and tighten all clamps. Do not overtighten the

plastic discharge tube clamps or tighten when

the tube is hot or warm. (High clamp tension

is not necessary for proper tube retention.) If

necessary, trim the 1” bypass hose lengths for

best fit. (Refer to Fig. 10-c on previous page.)

D. Route the 5/32” vacuum line to the bypass valve

and TEE into the FMU vacuum line with the sup-

plied 5/32” TEE.

E. Remove the factory coil bracket from passenger

side coil pack.

F. Secure coil (with main connector facing toward

the front of the vehicle) to supercharger bracket

with supplied #10-24 x 1-1/2” bolts and washers.

Do not overtighten (see Fig. 10-e).

G. Reconnect main harness connector and spark

plug wires. (Some plug wires may need to be

rerouted slightly due to different coil location.)
