Intercooler Install
Well I installed the intercooler today. It mounts right above the center air defector in the front and attaches to the black wedge shaped piece of plastic that sits behind the AC condensor and is held down by the top radiator hold down plate( support. This is a picture from the top looking down from the radiator
Here is a picture from the bottom looking up
There is a small pump that mounts next to the horns that pumps the fluid from the intercooler radiator to the storage resivoir
There is a small resivor tank that mounts above the battery
There are 3 hoses two leave the back of the supercharger , one of these goes to the cooling radiator, and the other does to the small black holding tank. The 3rd hose goes from the small tank to the pump that is attached to the cooling radiator Wiring on this one is easy but you must still tap into the gray wire under the fuse box( same one we cut for the BAP) so soldering is a must with srink wrap

Vacuum lines
Here is a picture of the vacuum lines behind the supercharger. The line to the far right of the picture that is hooked up to nothing goes to the back of the supercharger that actually produces the vacumm to the whole line. The next line over is hooked to the MAP sensor, it yellow because it used to be attached to the back of my intake manifold that was yellow. This will be attached to the back of the supercharger with a small bracket. The line at the top of picture is now attached to the vacuum line going to the cockpit. It is a female connector coming from the cockpit so a male adaptor is used. This little line was attached to the back of the MAP area of the old intake manifold. Remember it was a pain to get off when removing the intake??? The next line is attached to the bypass valve. This is mounted of the passenger side of the supercharger. The line that is to the far left is traveling to the Boost a Pump pressure switch. As vacuum increases the BAP produces more current to the fuel pump is my best guess

Wiring
Yelp you need to make some changes but they are really easy. The first change is needed at the MAF line. You must cut the tan wire that is used in the MAF to determine intake air temp. I did it here in the picture
Also notice the back wire with the white stripe that is the gound wire that must be tapped into further toward the cockpit.
Next you pull the tan wire that you cut back thru to the second coil area of the wiring harness. Here you attach a new plug for the new IAT sensor that is mounted on the supercharger. At this location you tap into that black ground wire. Do not cut it because the MAF sensor still needs it to work properly. So the new IAT plug has 2 wires on attached to it one from tan and one black with white stripe ground. When installed it looks like this. The new plug it the blue one and it appears right next to the EVAP plug on the drivers side harness

Tps sensor
The throttle position sensor is normal mounted on the passenger side of the throttle body. Since the new TB on the supercharger is mounted on the drivers side close to the 3rd ignition coil area the TPS line must be unwrapped from the passenger side harness back to the area next to the firewall. This was a pain as the old electrc tape was brittle and came off in little pieces. The nice news. Once you pull these wires out of the harness it only leaves 4 little fuel injector connector on that side of the motor. Looks great and not confusing to me. Clean man no junking wiring
The passenger side injector connectors can be seen here to the left of the picture in a circle type arrangement. See how clean that is. The right side of the motor will look great as I have relocated my coil brackets
The TPS line is at the top wrapped in back loom cover. This will travel to the drivers side for installation
PS The wires going to the coils was also moved to the back area of the firewall as I am relocating my coils off the valve covers

The drivers side harness/ tac control
On the drivers side of the throttle body is the TAC Control (Throttle Actulator Control) Remember the new TB will be on the drivers side of the superchager above the 3 rd ignition coil. So you must pull back the TAC line from the drivers harness to the 3rd coil region. As before this was a pain. Here is a picture of the drivers side harness after modification. Holy crap Batman that is confusing
The small black loom with the blue green connector is the newly postioned TAC connector and again I moved the ignition coil harness to the back of the harness for the coil relocation plans
The drivers side of the engine will look busy to put it in perspective
Thats it for wiring for tonight.... oh wait that is it period I already did the intercooler pump and BAP hurray~!!!!!

LS1 to LS2 Throttle Body conversion
The LS1 78 mm throttle body has two electrical inputs. The passenger side is the TPS (throttle position sensor)and the drivers side is the TAC ( throttle actulator control) as previously discussed. Both of these were moved for my install. The LS2 90 mm TB has only one electrical connector so you need to buy a 50.00 plug and play adapter from casper electronics. Here is what it looks like
Again the TAC is at the bottom it is the blue green connector, and the TPS is to the right it is black and flat

Plans
I plan to 1/4 mile it twice a year. Usually at corvette events only. To many kids at the track with alot less to loose if you know what I mean. Otherwise play on the street. My wife really dislikes me taking huge risk with the car and I have to agree. I simply can not afford large repair bills or worse a crash

Manifold
This is what it looks like without the supercharger mounted.
The red piece of tape at the front of the manifold is where the bypass enters

Manifold Rear Connections
Here is the back of the mainfold. The one yellow piece of tape is on the cooling line that goes to the front of the intercooler. It goes all the way from the back of the car and is hooked to the top inlet of the intercooler. The connection with 2 small pieces of yellow tape goes from the mainifold to the resivoir tank that is installed above the battery.
The blue pice of tape is the vacuum connection port that is attached to the vaccum line seen in the far right of this lower picture
And the red piece of tape is the place where the MAP sensor (yellow in the above picture)is clipped to black piece

Supercharger
Here it is removed from the manifold it is still heavy as crap
The yellow line is for the EVAP line. The black line goes to the brake vacuum line and the red line goes to the PCV connection. Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to type and say PCV verses PVC just a little medical humor I' m tired
Hey anybody out there got any aftermarket valve covers the want to sell ???? I just cant understand why anything decent for our motors is 300-500 bucks for the LT motors nice stuff for 125-150 what the :":!!!}}}!!!!?????
