Explain the oil separator...where does it go? I can't picture where in a twin screw supercharger there is oil to be caught. I'm a total noob though, I'll admit that much.

Thats mine I used a similar parts list. I made a custom aluminum bracket and bolted it to the heat sheild. Only place I could find it would fit and be easy to drain. The can goes imbetween the PCV outlet on the cam cover to just after the TB on the blower inlet elbow. The reason we do it so the oil blow by gets caught in the can and not covering our blower internals, intercooler, and lowering our octane rating in the cylinder. Every 3k miles I get about 3-4 table spoons of oil out of it.

They look great. Your wife is going to wonder why the next roast she cooks tastes like paint.

did you use a self-etching primer/paint? After doing my SC install, I realized how bad the stockers look in their natural state and am seriosuly considering a quick paint job to rectify it.
