its real easy.. just take your time.. it will take about twice as long as you think.. its that way with everything

go to trdusa.com

i think they put the instructions online already....

the one i saw was the supercharger oil change kit in pdf file but it sort of talks about how to remove the charger...go check it out.

Make sure you find the addendums to the installation guide too. There are additional instructions that were added after the original install guide was created.

i took 3 days too, but it was only because i kept having to go to sears to pick up some extra tools. here's one tip i learned the hard way: make sure you have open-end wrenches!

oh, and while you're at it, you might as well swap the plugs and your wires. do it all in one crack!

No way! It really isnt that difficult. There are no instructions online either

. I got moe's sc off and on my car with everything but the pully rack setup in about 45 minutes... off course we finished the whole thing about 3 hours later due to belt tensioner problems and no more sun light. :roll:

sorry to hijack the thread but i have a question. YOu can't just slap a supercharger on these engines and be done with it can you? I woudl think that would reak havoc on the internals and possibly cost you an engine if you push it. Can these engines handle a supercharger without beefing them up with stronger pistons and lower compressions heads and injectors etc. etc. ... ???
