[QUOTE="03Gunner, post: 13498059, member: 48824"] Thank you. Hope it helps. Also to add to it the stock bolts for the innercooler or intercooler to supercharger are M5 bolts with 0.8 pitch. The stock bolts are flange bolts 10.9 class. When I drilled out the hole I used a Perma Coil M5 X 0.8 pitch thread repair kit from Amazon for 19.99. It's a little cheaper than the Helicoil kits and works just as good. Note the thread repair kits have thread inserts of different sizes when researching X1 means the length of the thread insert is 1 X the diameter which is sufficient of course if you can get larger than 1 X the diameter it's even better. I believe Perma Coil is 1.5 X the diameter. I also replaced the original bolts with socket head cap bolts found on Amazon for 11.40 including shipping and handling. These bolts were from Carpenter Creek and were class 12.9 which are stronger than the stock bolts. I put flat washers on them when installing them and figured socket head bolts would be better if I had to remove them because the torque would be on the inner part of the bolt instead of the outside of the bolt as with flange type bolts. Thinking this would less likely break the bolt off. Hopefully I'll never have to remove them again. :banana: [/QUOTE]
