Default So installed a Vortech blower....

Hey guys...long time since my last visit.

I recently installed a vortech supercharger on my 2004 chevy avalanche. Everything is done except 2 things.

-Oil return hoses
-tune


I had a hard time finding a 3/8" pipe tap but now i have one. Im ready to tap the oil pan but im not quite sure where exactly it needs to be done. The pictures in the manual are not making any justice. After this is completed all there is left is tune it with Predator (came with the kit) and save it to HPTuners and reload a new tune using HPT.

Does anyone have pics of their oil hoses installation that i could take a peek at?

thanx,Mick.
