[QUOTE="musclemerc, post: 12857481, member: 97857"] I picked up a slightly used Trilogy supercharger from Hotford, he upgraded to a twin screw, all the other Trilogy accessories were kept on his car, I got the SC with a 3.0 upper pully, and a stock Trilogy lower pully. As more Trilogy owners make the transition to twin screw their old superchargers will become more and more available. Hopefully this thread will help someone else put a kit together. [ATTACH=full]441165[/ATTACH] The rotors show no visible signs of wear [ATTACH=full]441166[/ATTACH] All of the Trilogy specific parts will have to be fabricated, unfortunatly they are now out of the Marauder market. Here is what I did to make the IC reservoir bracket [ATTACH=full]441167[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]441168[/ATTACH] These were easy to make, I used a piece of angled 1-1/2" aluminum stock and hit them with 2 coats primer, 3 coats semi gloss paint, then 2 coats of matte finish clear coat. I began by making a cardboard cut out of the fender contour, then transfered it to the aluminum stock [ATTACH=full]441169[/ATTACH] To install the bracket you have to remove the mount for the shock that supports the hood with a 1/2" deep socket. [ATTACH=full]441170[/ATTACH] You will need to put a flat screwdriver through the slot to remove the shock [ATTACH=full]441171[/ATTACH] Give it a pull and it comes right out [ATTACH=full]441172[/ATTACH] Slide the bracket into place then reinstall the shock for the hood [ATTACH=full]441173[/ATTACH] I made the mount so it has 3 points to bolt to the fender, this will keep the reservoir from vibrating while driving, heres a pic with the reservoir in place [ATTACH=full]441174[/ATTACH] The short bracket I made goes under the reservoir to give it strength, soo it's a sandwich design. I didn't feel comfortable bolting directly to the bottom of the plastic unit. [ATTACH=full]441175[/ATTACH] Here is a side shot of the install [ATTACH=full]441176[/ATTACH] I fabbed up some PCV hard lines out of 5/8" aluminum tubing, the ends are flared. My plan is to paint them black or maybe polish them [ATTACH=full]441177[/ATTACH] Now I have plenty of clearance for the top hose to connect to the reservoir [ATTACH=full]441178[/ATTACH] Before attempting to install the heat exchanger I had to make a horn relocate bracket.

[ATTACH=full]441203[/ATTACH] I started the modification the I/C flange for the Trilogy adapter plate. The easiest way to do this is to install the bolts that do line up then transfer the hole pattern to the I/C flange [ATTACH=full]441204[/ATTACH] I used my Daughter's paint kit to mark the bolt patern to the I/C flange [ATTACH=full]441205[/ATTACH] This is what it looks like after drilling all the holes out [imghttp://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy182/musclemerc/IMG_0805.jpg][/img] One thing I didn't have to do was drill the adapter plate for an IAT sensor.
