I am Completing a supercharger install and am having a issue with the three lines on the back right hand side of the car ( Passanger Side ). As I understand these 2 of these are oil lines. There is no Provisions for these that i can see. Can someone please help me figuire out were these lines need to connect to. or if they need to be plugged off. There is one smaller one and 2 large lines.

Where'd you get the supercharger? TPC? I'm surprised you're attempting this on your own . . . I've heard its a bitch . . . and that many good shops aren't even in the know on how to install these. Wish I could help . . . there are a few guys around here that have them . . . so hopefully one of them can help you.

yes, it is the TPC unit. I have now completed the install. Yes to confirm it is a bitch. the TPC instruction's are terrible... There are not very many P-car shops around here. Especially that i trust. I have a fairly extensive mechanical backround. I have also installed a LWF/Clutch, Gemballa Coilovers/ RS sways in the car. I aslo fabricated and built a Water to air intercooler for the supercharger. The problem that i am experiencing is that on cold start it is VERY hard to get going, once running everthing is fine, I can shut it off and it will fire right back up, it is just that initial start. So i figuired that it might be a vaccum leak, upon removal of the air filter and intake plumbing i noticed LOTS of oil in the tubes. Thinking about the install i remembered that i could not recall which of the two larger oil hoses went were. I just wanted to know if this would make a difference as i have traced them back to were i thought they went in there original place, but still am unsure as to the location of the two large lines. As far as i can tell one goes back onto the top part of the engine and the other goes into the rubber bellow for the intake tubing. I figuire that all the oil is causing may hard initial start problem. Any advise here would be appreciated.

Can't help on the tech. side but am curious of the power gains, and how much more fun the car is to drive!! Let us know.

curious to know what year your 993 is... i heard you have to get rid of the varioram unit to use the TPC supercharger and it's best for a 95 993

It sounds like you overfilled (welcome to the club), usually to clear any starting or running problems caused by this you need to clean the ISV and occasionally the MAF.

It shouldn't matter too much unless you overfill in which case you want the hose that is lower on the tank to connect to the oil condensation breather on top of the crankcase, the upper hose should attach to the intake before the throttle body and the tiny hose after the throttle body.

I have a TPC supercharger on my 1996 C2. I did not do the install, but I am a bit familiar with the set up. I am wondering how the oil lines could get mixed up as they are pretty much 'one way' only as to length, bend, etc... I would not run the engine until this is sorted out. Did you purchase the SC from TPC? Try calling TPC for assistance? Can you post a picture so I can see just what you are looking at? I can look on my car and see what mine are hooked to. I could do this tonight, then I will be out till Sunday late.

Hope you get this sorted out... I love my SC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope your car and supercharger are running fine now. After I had mine installed, I took the car to TPC (Jessup, MD) so they could run dyno pulls and fine tune the mapping for more power gain.

Best of Luck to you, and for your special car....
