Yet another Blitz Supercharger Install

[CTScott]

This weekend I installed a used Blitz Supercharger on my 09. I was amazed as to how easy the installation actually was. I spent about 4 hours on Saturday doing the mechanical portion of the install and about an hour on Sunday morning doing the electrical portion. The person who I bought it from labeled every bolt and spacer, which definitely helped. Though, the spacers required for the replacement alternator bracket were different for my car than for his.

On Saturday, after I completed the mechanical portion, I had my daughter start the car, while I had my head under the hood, verifying that the belt was properly aligned an that there were no leaks from when I removed the fuel rail. That part went perfect, but then we had to go to a dinner party, so I had to wait for Sunday morning to do the electrical part. After scraping knuckles doing the mechanical part, the electrical part was a breeze. After completing the electrical part, I once again had my daughter at the wheel, with my head under the hood. After verifying engagement of the clutch in the three modes of operation, we were ready for a road test.

Pulling out of my driveway, I was immediately impressed with the torque difference. After cruising around our neighborhood and feeling the difference on the hills, my only regret was not having done this sooner.
