Hey,
I was talking to the person I am buying my S/C from, who had it installed for around 650, and she said that the engine needs to come out of the vehicle. Is that true? She also said that a competant shop needed two days to do this install. Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm in the Albany, NY area and if any of you guys are close and want to come help me out, it would be great.
Thanks.

Take the engine out?
That is ludicrous, it wouldn't be a bolt on if you had to disembowel the car like that. What was this person thinking? If you need and you come get me I will help you

Heheh...cool...I didn't think the engine had to be taken out. Thanks for the offer Delio. I'll let ya know.
Steve-
I was looking at some pictures of your Intercooler, and it looked like it is facing down. Is that right? Also, I was thinking about getting a spearco front mount intercooler(Definitely with Spearco stenciled on it..hehe). Any suggestions?

I've been readin over the installation instructions for the Supercharger, and it looks really hard. I think I can do it. Does anyone have suggestions, or an idea of how long it will take me?
Please help....I dont want to spend 600 to have it put on.
Thanks.

Heck no! The engine stays put, LOL! That's a fair price for the install. If the shop is smart, they will need two days for the install. About eight hours for the actual install and the rest of the time to test drive, check for leaks, or other problems.
It is impossible for us to predict how long the job will take If you want to do it yourself. It really depends on your experience and comfort level with tearing apart the engine bay. Having said that, I would budget a full weekend from 5pm Friday night to the wee hours of Monday morning.
