Discharge Duct Installation, Hot Side:

Install the black silicone Ø3” x Ø2.75” reducer

(Ø3” straight coupler for 3" discharge super-

chargers) to the supercharger discharge.

Secure with a #44 worm gear clamp (#48 for

3" discharge superchargers).
Locate the included bypass valve assembly.

Locate the included small cone filter and

secure it to the outlet on the bypass valve

with the included #28 worm gear clamp.

Install the filter with the oval cap oriented the

same as the oval bypass outlet.
Locate the long Ø3” aluminum tube with the

“dog leg” kink and bypass valve flange.

Secure the bypass valve assembly to the

flange using the supplied gasket and hard-

ware. Orient the assembly with the filter

pointing downward along the length of the

tube. Insert the shorter leg of the tube into

the open end of the supercharger discharge

sleeve. Orient it so the bypass valve is rotat-

ed to the point that it is nearly touching the

supercharger mounting plate.and secure with

a #48 worm gear clamp. (See Fig. 7B-1)
Reinstall the fan assembly, making sure the

tab on either side of the shroud engages the

corresponding slot. Secure with the OEM

10mm-headed fasteners, with the stud screw

on the driver side.
Reconnect the fan harness electrical connec-

tor to the relocated module.
Locate one of the Ø3” x 90° aluminum tubes

with the tighter bend radius. Connect the lon-

ger leg to the bottom of the bypass tube using

a Ø3" bump coupler and two #48 worm gear

clamps. Orient it to pass through the gap

between the radiator drain and the frame.

(See Fig. 7B-2)
Locate one of the large 90° rubber elbows.

Fit the longer leg over the CAC inlet on the

passenger side, pointing to the rear as much

as possible, passing just outside of the A/C

hard line. Secure with a #52 worm gear

clamp. (See Fig. 7B-3)
Locate the Ø3” x 90° aluminum tube with the

larger bend radius. Insert one end into the

open end of the 90° rubber elbow, and route

the other end to the open end of the other 90°

tube. Secure to the rubber elbow with a #52

worm gear clamp and to the other 90° tube

with a Ø3” x 3" long coupler and two #48

worm gear clamps.
