Please place the IAT sensor into the silicone elbow boot (this should be on pg 26 of your manual, if you don't have this in your manual (the current rev is 3/27/09), just let me know and I will e-mail you this page).

The SL compressor is delivered pre-filled. The level is checked with the dip stick when the compressor is installed. The kit includes 3 bottles of additional oil for future changes.

do you move the iat on 00-05 cars? why do you move it? i have notiiced the intake mani is a interwarmer of sorts. i swear it heats the air near 20 degrees. well, ither its warming the air or the iat gets heat soaked. any info appreciated.

No, these are completely different parts.

There are two common types of ways to cool inlet charge temperature, air to air and air to liquid. In either case, a radiator core is placed between the compressor (turbocharger or supercharger) and engine. In an air to air system, ambient air flow passes across this core reducing the temperature of pressurized air passing through this exchanger. In a air to liquid system, liquid is passed across the core reducing temperature of this same pressurized air. Whether air or liquid cooled, this system is called an aftercooler system as the core is placed between the compressor and engine. The term "intercooler" is not applicable to 99% of automotive turbo/supercharger designs as this refers to a method of cooling between compressors. However, it's commonly misused as describing an air-air aftercooler system.

In our supercharger system, we use a liquid cooled aftercooler. The liquid passing across the core is circulated by a water pump that transfers it to a separate radiator mounted in front of the vehicle. This separate radiator is called a heat exchanger. This is best illustrated by this diagram:



There is lots of information on these different designs available online. If you have any questions about our specific design, feel free to post or drop us a line.

theeee ONLY reason this kit would be better than the KW is the expandability past 360rwhp on a stock motor out of the box...

which I have yet to hear an explanation for...
