I just finished swapping the worn out coupler from my supercharger with a solid coupler that was in the extra supercharger that came with with my car.
This was my first time removing a supercharger and all together the job was alot easier than I thought it would be. Me and a buddy did in in about 2 1/2 hours working outside with flash lights and a shop light. It fired up and ran great first try. And best of all the annoying rattle that Ive had for a long time is finaly gone.
It seems to run better now as the EGR was not even bolted up tight and was obviously leaking. None of the vaccum lines had any type of clamp on them and several of them were very loose so they had to be leaking some. Everything got a hose clamp when going back together.
I refilled the charger with Mobil1 full synthetic 5w30 after I got it back on. The old oil that came out of it was dirty and there was barely enough to put around 3/4 of a inch of it into a solo cup.
The only snag I ran into was the coolant line to the throttle body I guess was just very brittle and broke when I was trying to unhook it. I didnt have enough hose to hook it back up the way it was so I just used a straight connector to connect the hoses coming into and out of the TB together to by pass it.
Its ok to to just leave the coolant connections on the throttle body open right? Or should I just go ahead and cap them?
