[Build Thread] -- Journey to 700+ WHP [Supercharger]

Glad you are nearing the end and its getting fired up tomorrow!

On issue #2. Are you talking about the bumper support or the hood latch support? The hood latch support is a small metal piece about 5 inches long. The bumper support is a giant compressed Styrofoam log.

On #3. All other forced induction kits delete the PCV and run breather filters to atmosphere like I suggest. The only reason stillen has it recirculating back into the system is to pass CARB.

On #4. You stated the use of stillen tank as an only option but the best option is to use the Factory overflow tank in the factory location.

I am not a huge fan of the way the 45* coupler is coming off your intercooler. I know it can be tricky dialing that Y pipe in to fit just right (but much easier than routing turbo piping all over the place) , but Its possible. Cant you clock the Y pipe clockwise about an inch? That should alleviate that small bend in your 45*.

Completely agree with Topz on the coolant reservoir. Buuuuuutttt if you choose not to use it and its the pressurized version, I'd be happy to buy it from you .

With the couplers, put some windex or a tiny bit of soapy water where you connect the coupler. That will allow it to move much more freely while you get everything loose-connected. It will allow you to maneuver out any kinks and then tighten everything down. The "lube" will dry, no big deal. That's what I did to ensure I didn't have any kinks in mine.

This is very true. Windex makes that process a ton easier and the coupler should slip itself into fitment. Only problem is that Im sure you have buttoned her up and ready to fire.

This is the first I've heard of this. What about dual catch cans?
