bad advice to use the snow kit over an intercooler. Intercoolers have been proven to be the best way ofc cooling the air temps. You ever seen a high HP drag car running a meth kit without intercooler? Theres a good reason. What happens if the meth kit somehow fails? Whatabout the fact that its only spraying meth at WOT? Intercoolers are constantly cooling the aircharge ALL the time. No running out of fluid and constant stops to the parts store. You get into boost someday when the container is empty and boom there goes the motor.....

im not saying it wont be ok, just disagreeing to the advice that a meth kit is "better" than an intercooler. Im saying the I/C is more reliable, thats why high HP cars use them over meth.....

I don't remeber if they say this in the instructions, but do NOT use a drillbit when installing the oil return line on the pan. you want to use a starter punch, and then a larger punch with the size yuo need marked on it, so that youbend the metal back and then acutally tap that.

Also, you will need some HEAVY grease to put on the tap so yuo don't put shavings in your oil pan.

the drain taps right into the very front of the pan, there is a small area that is flat right at the front.

The supply line hooks into the extra port by the oil pressure sensor.
