Started the install of my DDM Works
I am a self installer and love to work on the SS so the DDM Works Supercharger is perfect for a weekend project. My wife helped me remove the hood and from there I have done it by myself. I removed the front end and my aftermarket fenders which made easy access.
Since I was also installing the center feed fuel rail and steam bypass line I incorporated that into work which takes a bit longer. The fitting on the new gas line was something I was not familiar with but Dave was on hand at the other end and explained how it works via texts with pictures.
I had to take the radiator out to make the pulley and Supercharger install easier and I recommend that be done right off the bat, as this makes the front of the motor work much easier. This was a wrong part shipped with the kit but Dave helped me find a ribbed pulley locally instead of the wrong smooth one I was shipped.
The intercooler is heavy and really needs a hand to install or you will be frustrated. Bottom bracket is not bolted on but holds by friction. Even with the motorcycle jack I used the part kept falling off until my wife came home and helped me hold it long enough to start the bolt.
After installing the actual supercharger I was ground to a halt due to some missing banjo bolt parts for the oil cooler but Dave is going to ship them out on Monday and meanwhile I can go ahead and install the steam line and start tidying up various wiring now.
I have a 2016.5 so I had to remove the extra shroud and plan to leave it off as suggested. Without the shroud, the shoulder bolts that hold the fan on are a bit too long so I added 2 washers to each to makeup for the missing shroud.
I will continue updating as I go along, but wrap up likely will not be done until next weekend, besides I am still waiting for the ECU to come back from boobs, I shipped it out last Tuesday so it should be back very soon.

Pics are coming, lol but here is a couple more. I will get some gauge pictures soon, just between being in the hospital and all of the work not much time for picture taking.
Yesterday I shortened the neck on the return water line so I had no interference with the air sensor. Cleaned up the last of the wiring as well and went over things to check for loose clamps and interference issues. I still need to install the oil reservoir and filter as well as the boost control, waiting on the banjo bolts to arrive first.
I received my Welter Exhaust modification that should quiet the exhaust down. I have to make a hanger bracket to support the weight of the dual mufflers out back.
I have to thank the various venders with their help with this build, specifically DDM Works and Welter exhaust. Both have gone out of their way to help and I want to be sure to encourage others to buy from these guys when thinking power.
In the picture you will see a small brass bar near the bottom right, this was a bracket I made to support the Bad Boy Horn as I had to relocate from where it was. The bracket has now been trimmed and painted black so I will not stand out like it does in the picture. The original location is shown by the old bracket on the left that will be coming out now.
I will be installing a new bass woofer as the old one fried, I have to adjust the gains down a bit. Also upgrading two of the side pod speakers to match the ones in the pods behind my head. All of the parts are here now, just need time and energy to install,lol.
