I guess now is as good a time as any to let the cat out of the bag. Behold my "redevil" inspired Supercharger Project!

Well, this thread originally started life as a "letting the cat out of the bag" thread about my Supercharger build. That explains the bunch of the early posts if you continue to read. But, eventually I succeeded in installing an M62 supercharger onto my 00RS. Now, this thread really represents a log of this build. You can see the entire build on my build site (^ above link) and follow some of the fun in this thread. Plus, feel free to ask any questions you may have about this build in here. I didn't do this supercharger build for just myself, I also tried to provide as much info as I could so others can duplicate it. My goal was to create a low cost reproducable supercharger setup for the EJ Subaru.
Here is an example of one of my bracket design drawings, and the 3 main brackets installed.
All of which are available on my build site.
