How did you bolt on a supercharger and not do any mods to the computer? wouldn't that make your car go crazy?

Other people use a SuperFueler system (Willie was the first I think). It mounts on the intake behind the throttle body like a wet nos plate. Then 3 30# injectors mount on it, as rpms go up a custom computer controlling them tell how much fuel to add in. Course this system runs about 735 bucks I think.

In the picture above, it shows the windshield washer bottle removed. Does it have to be removed with the ProCharger? Do they offer any option on relocating it?

Yep, you need to remove the stock washer bottle to make room for the blower head unit, but the kit does come with a new bottle and bracket.

Is you air intake into the SC custom or is that what ATI is using now? I am wondering about clearance issues with my Kenny Brown STB?

Yes, the air filter box was custom made by a local custom shop, called Custom Street Dreams. as with most custom things is was not cheap!!!



and the KB sub-frame connectors, fit very well, though i did have to dent in the y-pipe slightly, but that is to be expected when utilizing aftermarket exhaust.

Actually, I was talking about the Kenny Brown Strut Tower Brace. I was wondering if there would be any clearance issues with the Strut Tower Brace and the stock air intake for the ProCharger.
