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 :321:

For future reference it is much easier to attach the head unit to the plate and then bolt it on as a complete unit. I can have my 2200 out of or back in the car in just a few minutes by doing it this way.

Oh and the black looks nice, enjoy the new found power.

Yea I figured that out after I put the plate on. Another reason why I hate the manual for this thing LOL!

Appreciate it!

I followed the procedure to the T and still ended up breaking all 8 of mine.

yes you do! that sucks bro, I have the tool I would send you but you probably want it sooner than that.

I know that O'reilly's carried the tool here, thats where I got it from if you have one of those around you.

^^ I'm confused by this. I am running breathers on my car and have the PCV capped off. Wouldn't that prevent unmetered air?


Texting while driving

^ I'm running breathers with the thing capped as well on driver side

You gotta cap two spots.

If you run breathers then yes you should eliminate the PVC system completely
Thats one school of thought.

So the guys that gave done that, are you seeing oil contamination sooner then later on your engines? Or is your oil breaking down normally?
Dont mean to thread jack
