2007 GMC Sierra Supercharger Install - Dyno-Proven Daily Driver

2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Blower Unit
With some assistance, Simon muscled the MagnaCharger manifold and blower unit into place.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Connections Hoses
Just sitting there, the unit sure made the engine compartment look great. Simon used this as an opportunity to connect the fuel injector harnesses, PCV hoses, and throttle-body harness.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Torque Manifold Bolts
Using a 3/8-inch torque wrench, the intake manifold bolts were torqued in sequence.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Pulleys
The supplied MagnaCharger pulley bracket was then installed. Included in the kit are two idler bearings that keep the new serpentine belt tight around the blower pulley. This kept slipping to a minimmum, and boost always available.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Support Brace
This support brace was then secured, which helped to keep the blower snout steady throughout all the rpm range.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Alternator Bracket
Simon was then able to mount the alternator to the factory bracket.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Secure Belt
MagnaCharger includes a strategically placed hole in the pulley bracket. This hole allowed Simon to stick a pin into the bracket and keep the tensioner loose, so he could route the serpentine belt around the pulleys. After pulling the pin out, the belt was secure.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Fuel Line Canister
Back to the fuel vapor canister, Simon bolted it into place on the fuel fitting, then he secured the fuel line to the fitting and the hose to the canister.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Splice Wires
One of the many tricks up the MagnaCharger team's sleeves is the ability to trick the Intake Air Temperature sensor (IAT) into reading a more accurate intake charge by moving it closer to the intake manifold. Simon spliced into the factory IAT wires and ran the new wires to the MagnaCharger supplied sensor on the intake.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install New Filter
He was now ready to slide the high-flow filter into the factory airbox. Luckily, the owners retained the original airbox and we were able to reuse it. The airbox went into place and the IAT sensor reconnected into the location.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Water Tank
Moving to the heat exchanger, Simon mounted the water tank to the driver side battery tray with the supplied bracket.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Water Lines
Here, you can see the new water pump and hose running up to the new water tank. Hoses from the rear of the MagnaCharger manifold were connected to the water tank at this time, as well.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Intercooler
Simon was then ready to mount the new MagnaCharger heat exchanger to the front of the radiator. The most frustrating part of this section was the removal of the GMC grille. After it was mounted, the water hoses were secured using OE-style squeeze clamps.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Water Pump Wiring
Power and ground wires were run for the water pump and secured to a relay mounted onto the firewall.
2007 Gmc Sierra Supercharger Install Intake Tube
Back to the passenger side of the engine compartment, the MagnaCharger intake tube was secured using the supplied hose clamps.
