tvs installation
I'm installing a tvs supercharger, just wondering if anyone else ran into problems with the bolts and how they ended up getting them on (special tools), especially for the 2 that are at the front. As well as the MAP sensor. I had to unsrew it to allow for the supercharger, did anyone modify it so that they could screw it back in?
You need to cut away part of the map sensor and rotate it out of the way. The TVS itself will hold it in place.
I don't have a picture of mine, but you should end up with something like this:

I used short head hex keys to tighten the front bolts on.
edit: just in case you strip one and need to replace it, the bolts are M8 x 1.25 x 40mm

Just make sure the injector clips arent angled towards the mounting point on the blower. I dodnt remember if that was a problem on my 80's or not but my 98's rested against the blower and leaked, so I had to rotate the injector in the rail a bit.

i ended up changing the bolts for regular six-sided head bolts. has a 10mm socket sized head that is far easier than using an allen key or something. use that, plus a u-joint and an extension and you'll be fine
