Default V3SI install after rad or before rad

It would be easier to install the blower without the rad in the car IMO.

You should be able to drop the rad in and install the fans from the bottom.

When you think about it if we ever have to pull the Supercharger we don't have to pull the rad!

Have the radiator in first the proceed with the SC install!

Thanks,Matt

I'm going to put the blower in first after my cam swap .. hopefully its a ton easier than with the radiator in

pulled the blower to change the power steering pulley a month or so ago .. no fun at all trying to get it back in and hook up the piping on the bottom
