RR Racing Supercharger Install
This is probably the first garage install. I plan on taking it slowly Will be a very slow build.
Rafi has been amazing fielding a million questions before I even started. Thank you.
On Jack stands. Ready to start.

Removed front bumper, headlights and under tray
This link was very helpful. Thanks to cyberscorp:

Removed aluminum beam
Drained coolant:
Removed lower coolant hose, cut two inches off and reinstalled it. Relocated several ground harness.
Removed air box and intake.
Cut the sheet metal to fit the pipes
Removed all the hard transmission cooler lines and replaced it with high pressure hoses to make space.
To remove the crank pulley, I had to remove the coolant reservoir as I am doing it on Jack stands. Otherwise you can do it from under the car without removing the reservoir.
I'm calling it a day. Hopefully crank pulley tomorrow.

If you are doing it in your garage on Jack stands, I suggest you take the fan shroud off to have access to your crank pulley as you will be going it from the TOP of the car, not the bottom. It is a 20 min job to take it off.
Stock pulley off.
New pulley and new belt on

Easier this way and does not affect integrity of structure. I am sure that the pipes need some flex. Also you cannot predict the placement of the pipes so how do you know where to drill the holes?

Keep the questions coming Raj, happy to help!
As for cutting under the stock airbox... that piece does not have any structural purpose anyway. You can install a stock airbox even without it, just use the one bolt on top. In fact, by removing that piece of metal, you can plumb a ram air duct from the bumper directly to the airbox from below, it would make for a good DIY mod.
