[QUOTE="MustangChris, post: 1220457, member: 10830"] doesnt make a difference unless its a kenne bell with the water cooled blower housing: [IMG]http://www.kennebell.net/KBWebsite/Home_pg/links/LCnew.jpg[/IMG] so, if its a top style blower, it probably has the 2003/4 cobra style system (electric pump, lines running under the supercharger to the "charged air cooler" back down to the front heat exchanger and back to the pump) If thats the case, do exactly as I said in the second post and take off the hose to the coolant expansion tank for the supercharger system. If you have a step-stool and a bucket you can do this pretty easily without making a mess: #1) remove top hose to the expansion tank. #2) insert dual-sided barb into the hose and attach a longer hose to the other side of the barb [IMG]http://www.htgsupply.com/files/admin/img/HydroSupplies/Fittings/85_double_barbed_elbow.jpg[/IMG] #3) after adding the other hose to the other end of that fitting stand on a step stool and hold a bucket with the new hose's end in it. #4) have a friend turn on the car and wait for a few minutes. The air should come to the top of the system and coolant will blurp out into the bucket. (you may need to put your thumb on/off the end of the hose a few times to try and build pressure in the system to push the air bubble along) #5) turn off the car, dis-assemble your new fancy hose, put the original hose back on the expansion tank, fill the expansion tank.
