Yeah it took a few tries to get the supercharger to sit in there right without hitting the distributor or getting in the way of the plugs and wires. having it at an angle works great with the outlet over the valve cover. just had to make the short tube with the bypass tube in it. used the cold air intake tube just had to cut it to make it fit. looks pretty good i think. the inlet pipe i cut the flange off and had a throttle body spacer tig welded on so i could bolt on the throttle body.

It is running really well now. just have to get a few couplers to connect the throttle body back over to where the filter is. Aem is working amazing. I am going to be ordering a smaller pulley soon. hope to get around 8 psi with it.

I like any offroading that doesnt have that much mud. just not a fan of mud and how long it takes to clean up once you get home. just being up in the mountains exploring is a good day. want to go to rausch creek soon. there are a few good trails around me that are a blast.

Kind of a tackey question, but how much do you have invested in this?

$300 for the aem
$75 for the injectors
Around another $100 for small parts

but i had a spare computer/ engine harness that i could cut up and make my own jumper harness for the F/IC. had the steel to make the brackets and a spare throttle body to modify. and i did get the supercharger for free. I should have alot more in the project.

As soon as I saw this thread the first thing I wondered about was your injectors. I deal with fuel injectors daily and I know the ones from supercharged cars are always very high flow. Which ones did you put in there?

Do you have to do piston upgrades or highvolume oil pump or head upgrades? Or will this work with the stock 4.0?

Happens all the time. LOL.
I'm on an Alfa Romeo forum and it alerts you that the thread is old when you hit REPLY. Kinda handy.
