Details
|
Premium Gas
|
|
X
|
Run at least one tank full of premium gas through your car before the install.
|
NGK Spark Plugs
|
|
X
|
One range cooler plugs and gapped to .032".
|
TDR Heat Shield
|
|
X
|
Keeps header/exhaust manifold heat away from the supercharger and intake area.
|
SPEC Stage 2 Plus Clutch
|
|
X
|
Install your new clutch and/or flywheel before you installed supercharger
|
Lighten Flywheel
|
X
|
|
Not mandatory but a worthwhile consideration when changing the clutch. However, if air condition is important then recommend keeping your stock flywheel for more mass and less idle droop.
|
Magnacore 8mm Wires
|
X
|
|
Consider replacing the stock wires if the originals have more than 30K miles or 2 years old.
|
Synthetic Oil
|
X
|
|
You should be using synthetic oil. This becomes more important when you add forced induction to your motor.
|
Transmission and Differential Fluid
|
X
|
|
You'll be stressing your drivetrain with increased torque so using synthetic products like Motul, Royal Purple and Red Line are recommended.
|
Oil Filter
|
X
|
|
WIX filters are a good alternative to OEM filters.
|
Radiator Fluid
|
X
|
|
Flush the radiator fluid and reduce the mixture to 70% water and 30% radiator fluid (in frost-free weather conditions only). It's a good time to check the thermostat, radiator cap and all hoses. Replace if necessary
|
Brake Pads
|
X
|
|
With the increased power you'll need increased braking power. Aggressive street pads are an inexpensive upgrade.
|
Heavy Duty Motor Mounts
|
X
|
|
Most OEM mounts failed within a few months of installing a supercharger. We strongly recommend replacing
|
Cat Back Exhaust
|
X
|
|
Eliminates unnecessary backpressure.
|
Gauges
|
X
|
|
We recommend Boost, Wide Band Air/Fuel Ratio and Temperature gauges. We sell a full line of gauges and can order almost any combination.
