    Hey guys. I'm top swapping, starting tomorrow, on an 02 GP GT and I seem to have lost one of the supercharger bolts(link). Does anyone know what size it is and how long it needs to be since it isn't as long as the others? Also, there is a picture of the MAP sensor and bracket I got from Morad parts company. Is there supposed to be another one? do I use the old one from the GT as the second one? Thanks.

    that looks like the map sensor. the evap iirc snaps on to the end of that bracket. its been a while but i took all the brackets off and just zip tied the sensors to the wire harness when i did my header and rocker install.

    So it's not missing a sensor? Or is that space next to the MAP for the EVAP? Another question, do you happen to know where I can find the torque sequence and specs for the supercharger? I'm not finding anything on google.

    iirc blower was 17 or 19 but someone who knows for sure will chime in.

    lim bolts were 13 too iirc.

    this is the evap purge solenoid, pretty sure it clips on to the fork looking clip on that bracket in your pic. it slides on the bracket in the groves in the solenoid seen here.





    you'll need this too. buy 5 feet of new vac lines and two new vac T's. advance auto has the best t's ive been able to find, 2 in a pack for 2 bucks. small white t's. replace all the lines.

    old lines on the sc tree at the top, cut the old line with a razor blade then pop em loose, or the plastic tubes break off the tree.

    Snug, and good n' tight are the specs for bolts.

    Being exact with torque specs has caused broken bolts in the past, going snug is better and you'll never have an issue.

    And for sequence, I just start in the middle and go opposites and then criss-cross. I don't snug them all down untill each one has been tighten past finger tight, then again work my way around.


    Or if it's my own personal car, I just zap everything with my electric impact gun from the middle out. Then go back by hand, never had an issue either way.

    The bolt is going to be M8 by 1.25 IIRC. As for length...take another bolt with you. Or measure the section it goes thorugh on the charger and add 3/4".

    Only one map goes on the GP's before 04.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
