can be done with just basic tools. nothin special.

Make sure you relieve the pressure in the fuel rail before you take it off or it'll spary gas everywhere.

Or leave the injectors and fuel lines connected and just move the rails out of the way while still being attached. My blower has been off the car 3 times and I have yet to disassemble the fuel system.

And make sure you don't but the 04+ one if you have a 98

so pretty much all i need to buy is a supercharger gasket and get the blower ported and im set right.

**speedemongtp** · 09-28-2009

you also need the 2 little yellow o rings that are also between the blower and lim. you'll see what i am talking about when u pull it off.

Those o-rings came with my Felpro gasket I got from Auto Zone.

**speedemongtp** · 09-29-2009

^ nice my autozone cant even get me just the blower gasket only way they can get me one is for me to buy a whole topend kit. I have to go to the dealer an pay 12$ for the gasket every time i need one plus an additional 5 or so for the orings

Drill and tap the lim and block off the coolant passages.

Very good advice!

**speedemongtp** · 09-30-2009

Why?

**minichopper6hp** · 09-30-2009

So you dont have to deal with coolant every time you take off the blower. Also, cooler tb.

**TheOtherNick** · 09-30-2009

I left mine unblocked. I want coolant to help warm everything up here when it is -20 or so out.

ya that or you just wait awhile tell it warms up or just ware your winter coat lol

Has nothing to do with the heat of coolant for the car's interior heat, helps the engine run better when cold and warm up faster by heating the incoming air to the engine.
