Default TPC Supercharger install per Mil-std-wd

Question for those that installed and removed their SC.

For engine shroud cover that has to be trimmed to install the hump shaped bracket. How do you patch the cover when putting back to stock to account for removed material.

I thought you were on the tail end of this install. What happened?

Why are you going back to stock? I’ve been wanting one of those TPC superchargers for a while. Unhappy with the sound, performance, something else?

I haven't even run the car yet.
The kit needs lots of massaging.

Also like to keep my options open.

Here is a photo of my progress.

I'm pretty sure it's the title of your post that's misleading. ; )

That's the word I heard. If not, might be sale.

I'm done, just not going to put motor back in yet. I want to take a picture with my son in the engine bay. Will not be dropping the motor again for a few years.
