You made it look easy!

Haha I wouldn't say that! I figure if I didn't have the FRPP manifold it'd be cake, but it was quite the nightmare dealing with that T-stat spaacer/TB electronics/ and supercharger pulley spacing...that can

You didn't have trouble getting the head unit to bolt up once the bracket was bolted? I had to loosen it all back up so that I could lean it to give enough clearance to get the bolts in.

Oh of course I had trouble! LOL I was able to angle it just enough to get one of the bottom bolts to thread just a tad and then just put the bolts on my wrench, push it into the hole and slowly turn it with the wrench until it threaded! It was slow going on the bottom ones, but the other three on the outside were easy.


What I don't understand is why the manual tells you to do one thing and then two pages later it tells you to take something off that you just put on!!!! Example, the stupid bracket for the air inlet that attaches to the supercharger bracket!! Why didn't they just tell me to put it on there when I put the damn thing on there the first time! I was thinking to myself "WTF"!! LOL

Is that v3 si?

 

[Taxman]

Yeah when Rick and I did mine, we were cussing up a storm every time that happened. I still had the damn idler pulley in the wrong spot until I pulled the unit off the other day while I had my car down to swap that alternator.

 

[LAStang1234]

Is that v3 si?

I don't think so, the SI's are 8 ribbed aren't they?

I'm pretty sure you have the SI trim.

Yep, took another look! It's the SI trim.
