Remove all components that lead to the

throttle body including the rubber bellows,

assembly and intake air temperature (IAT)

sensor. Separate the MAF and IAT sensors

from the intake assembly and set aside.

Drain approximately one gallon of coolant

from the radiator. Remove the upper

radiator hose and set aside.

To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it

is necessary to make a hole in the oil pan.

Locate and mark hole per diagram. (See Fig.

2-a.) The drain hole must be punched rather

than drilled.
