Confirm that the 3/8 NPT port on the bottom of the

inlet duct is drilled through. If not, drill through

with a 1/2" bit, taking care to remove all burrs.

Install the included 3/8 NPT x 5/8 90° hose barb

fitting into the black roto-molded inlet duct as

shown. (See Fig. 11A)

Connect the inlet duct to the supercharger inlet

with the Ø4" x Ø3.5" silicone reducer (straight Ø4"

for 4" inlet superchargers) and secure with a #64

and a #56 worm gear clamp (2 x #64 for 4" inlet

superchargers). (See Fig. 11B)

Connect the new valve cover breather hose previ-

ously connected to the driver side valve cover to

the 3/8 NPT 90° hose barb previously threaded

into the inlet. Trim the hose to length as needed.

Automatic Transmission Only: Cut the driver

side breather hose from the previous step approx-

imately 1"-2" past the air inlet opening. Insert the

5/8 hose barb TEE fitting so that the open leg

points in the general direction of the throttle body.

Automatic Transmission Only: Locate the OEM

3/8" vacuum hose with the quick-release fitting

previously disconnected from the OEM air inlet.

Cut the hose past the first 90° bend from the

quick-release fitting. The fitting and section of

hose connected to it will not be reused. (See Fig.

11E)
