Pretty straight forward.
It's heavier than you think though so when you lift it off make sure you have a good grip.
also I wrapped mine in plastic with duct tape, then took an old Uhaul blanket and wrapped it up in that. I could've dropped it and not worried.
Definetly change the plugs (Wydopnthrtl!!!)
Also, remove and clean the intercooler.
I cleaned everything spot less, I must've used a case of brake cleaner. the intake, throttle body, intercooler were spotless when I put it back together.
Also a good time to get a phenolic spacer and open it up a little to match the Supercharger opening that is going to be widened.
Also, a great time to grab a dremmel and port match the intake to the throttle body ... Mine was off a lot and not it's perfect.
Also, great time to match the intake to the supercharger (when you get it back)
Might as well do it all now, becuase it will sit in the back of your head and bug you that you should've done it RIGHT the first time.
