Installed a new(er) Supercharger

On 11/13/2004, I went back to a local club members house to swap on a low-mileage M90 supercharger off of a 2003 L67 motor.  Since mine was rattling like crazy, I just replaced the entire blower and I'll sell mine for parts.  We also took care of some "bugs" left over from the cam/heads install.  I had a small coolant leak that we made even smaller, so that worked out.  Here are some pictures of the new supercharger before installing it on the car.

After I installed the blower, I couldn't get the pulley puller tool to work right and ended up stripping the snout threads.  I was still able to pull the old 3.8" pulley off, but I couldn't press the new one on.  So I took another day off work and removed the snout, took it up to Ober Performance and had them press my supercharger pulley hub on for me.  Only cost $5 and I was back in business.  I didn't have any supercharger oil, so I drove to the dealership to get a few bottles and filled it up.  I slapped the belt on and realized that my 500-mile break-in period after the cam was over!  Good timing.  So for the first time since the cam went on, I was able to go full throttle.  Felt pretty good!
