Default Help: Vortech Supercharger and Aftercooler

Has anyone installed the Vortech supercharger and after cooler? I would love some pictures if you have them. I am trying to figure out how to situate everything (pump, wiring, etc.). I had the supercharger already installed but I am putting the after cooler in now and I could use some brain blocker help. Directions say to install the pump fuse holder and wiring to the # 18 fuse, but that's a blinker relay or something weird? Thanks in advance.

Default More pics


Pump installed.

Cooling radiator installed.

Upgraded wiring. Needed more than came with.

I added a waterproof quick connect. Not necessary, but easy install.

Ground wire connectors updated.

Water pump connected.

Boguht a Mishmoto Radiator. IT WILL NOT FIT. Too big.

Shown for placement of clamp. If you do not install like this you will have to move.

I put these light weight clamps on here but had to cut a corner off for the elbow to install. AT least they fit.

Radiator installed, clamps installed. Getting closer.
Here are a few more pics. I am doing as I get time. I hope I can come back later and add detailed notes etc.

IF the pump has a temperature trigger wire, then POWER for the pump can hook up to
any ignition source in the fuse/relay center.

People are using an FMIC because the after-cooler is too much bulk, and plumbing work.

Don't know if this thread is dead or not, or if I can be any help, but I have an '01 GT with the Vertech charger and Maxflow Power Cooler system installed. I didn't do the install, but in my estimation with what work I've done on the car since being involved with it (4 years or so) it appears the system was installed according to Vortech's instructions.

Let me know if I can help.

The pump does not have a temp trigger. It's just positive/negative. Sorry it took me so long to say anything, but moving and life just won't let me get much done. I do have more pics coming, but its been slow going. Thanks for taking the time to reply and I will try to be more proactive.

Super nice. I appreciate the pic. I am trying to keep the thread alive but have little time to work on it and am trying to get more posted as I continue. It is a lot closer. and I should have more pictures soon. I have had to do more modifications because of poor installs on lights and other items I had other people do and they really botched it up. Sometimes it does not pay to pay someone else to do the job. Thank you for your reply.

Do you have a picture of the pump installed? Be nice to see how they hooked it up if possible.

Also I assume they put your battery in trunk? Do you have any pics of that? I am having issues with the battery install since mine had been routed back there, but I also had 2 other batteries back there that I removed. Sorry for being so needy.
