Yeah, I'm not sure how or why his shop hooked that up. I hope they aren't trying to run the MAP off of that sensor and plugged the IM hole by mistake

I totally agree on the angle, doesn't look anything like the other pics posted.

Besides that, anyone can buy a few parts and literally bolt it to their car. Hell my Matrix is turbo'd just awaiting installing the FI/C and injectors this weekend. I can still start it, drive it around and take lots of pics LOL!. Waits for the running AND driving vids...Oh and something on a dyno

JapEatr, you have to remember that you LSJ guys have that cover over your fuel rail. Ours is out in the open so it looks like there's more room there. Take the fuel rail cover off and then take a pic.

I think he means the angle the TVS is sitting, not the room.

EDIT: what he said...

It's obvious that there's an IM and that that it is the stock LSJ one. It's right in front of you int he middle of that pic... You can see the cast aluminum texture clear as day...

It is. It's clocked so that the top of the engine is closer to the radiator. Makes it a bitch to mount the supercharger.

It's almost impossible to have any perception with that picture.

First off, it's a grainy cell phone picture, which means it's probably also wall-eyed a bit. Secondly, You can't make out any body or frame parts to orient yourself. The Supercharger looks like it's exactly where it should be on an Auto LE5 - and I'd hope you would believe me as I've spent quite a bit of time under the hood looking at mine... I'm basing that off of its proximity to the fuel rail on top, the radiator hose on the left, and the A/C lines along the bottom/front.

bkr7e is the model number....

All ecotecs use the same size plug iirc, just different heat levels.
