The hardest part of the install for me was paying the $800 to the shop!

If drilling is involved, I think it's to tap the oil pan for oil for the supercharger.

If you plan on doing this yourself, make sure the pieces of metal don't end up inside the oil pan.

Drilling the oil pan is not required for the RMM install. They just utilize the oil sensor location and you lose the sensor.

The drilling required is to run the intercooler pipe.
