Was it hitting the alternator bracket? I know you sometimes have to file it down..

Had to do it on both installs now. It literally takes one minute. Just file it down before you even put it on the SC. Will try to take a pic exactly where but the instructions show it pretty good. Easier to file it than to test fit.

No...I did that. The alternator is also on the passenger side, lol.

I'm talking about on the runner of the intake manifold, driver side in the front. I will try to go snap a pic.

we were going to do it at Lexus, but john is heading over here right now for us to do the install. we're going to try and use the Injen intake with the SC, so i'll let you know how it works out. pics will be in build thread tonight

Shave a little off the manifold, shave a little off the bracket? How much do you need to shift it?

I'm jealous of you guys, maybe next year I can justify putting more money into my car and get one of these. Hopefully by then the intercooled version is available.

Haha those will be fixed soon, I wanted to make sure the PasswordJDM corner braces would work with the supercharger. I'll have something permanent next week.

All - for more details/pics/videos check my build thread, should have some videos up in a few.

dammit, dude needs to hurry up so we can get started and done.

I actually did neither. I was still able to bolt it down onto the block, but it made it sit *slightly* off center to the bolt holes. I was able to thread them on by a socket wrench. It wasn't extremely hard tightening them down so I knew they were fine or I would have pulled it off and shaved it down a bit (obviously wouldn't have forced the bolts on there).

Was just wondering if anyone else had the issue. probably like 1-2mm over it had to be moved.

Just wanted to give people a heads up in case they have that issue, they can check that spot and see if its hitting.

We had to shave a bit off the alernator. But HOLY CRAP! Damn if she doesnt feel awesome now.
