Or just pull the fuel rails and remove the couple bolts holding the SC on the lol and paint it.


There's your choices

So what's under the SC. Is there a gasket that would need to get replaced if I took it off? Or I can just unbolt it n no problems? Ll it's in my plans to do so I guess I should ask that. cuz I have the metalcast paint now that I'd do it with. What you think, red blower with gunmetal rails or vise versa? I kinda wanna do red

Red looks retarded. Do it the same gunmetal you've be using and red rails..


Yes that's a gen III

Yea there's a gasket underneath the SC it's like $8 at ZZP or get one as advance/rockauto etc just make sites its not a Garlock one

Alright I'm gonna read up a little bit on it n check it out. Ill see how much gaskets are n maybe try n do it tomorrow. My only issue with using my gunmetal paint is that it's just the gm duplicolor stuff, it's not high heat resistant n I feel that would be an issue or am I wrong? If it is, ill have to try n find some high heat paint that'll match close.

gunmetal S/C with polished fuel rails is my vote

hmm just leave em polished instead of red..I can snap pics of it n check it out before I painted them red if I did n we will see! Thank you

I didn't paint my fuel rails in case they started to chip or fuel gets on them good bye paint. So keep that in mind!

Edit: F U spellcheck for changing my words

Lol yeah i will..ill just see what i like then. I seen something's about o rings or other gaskets. Will I need them or no? What'd you replace when you take yours off to paint it?

Well I did do the whole heads/cam scenario so a lot of shut was replaced but for use just replace the supercharger gasket and optional..injector orings. They're cheap anyways.


Beat way of doing it is let the car run and then pull the fuse for the fuel pump so there isn't much if any fuel in your fuel rails when you go to take them off creates less mess.

**** those people!

^^^Lol you guys get mods like crazy, but hey if had the money lay around i got Mod crazy too.

Ya Gunmetal on the S/C will look awesome, Polish fuel rails id option it cause the S/C will look good int that color regardless.

Looks good! love the red shrouds to match your car!

thanks bro, lol I wish they were on, I checked my tracking on my ballasts coming in n they won't be here till Monday I wish I woulda know cuz I woulda went to Gibraltar to pick some up.

So I got these in the mail today, and neither of them work. Lol I'm so pissed n annoyed right now. I'd be happy if one worked. I don't see how there'd be some specialy way to hook them up, but if you have any info or suggestions to help out I'd appreciate it. Besides getting different ones because that's obviously what I'm going to have to do. I just don't know if I'm missing something or these are just that big of pieces of sh!t.

Okay, I'll try that. I have seen some where you need to switch the pins so that makes sense, I hope that does it lol. Thanks man
