Question What am I missing for Radix install?

I got a great deal on a used Radix, however I am missing some pieces. The following pictures are all that I have in my kit and I know that I am missing some things. The maggie going on the Tahoe in my sig. The things I have figured out so far is the:
short oil filler neck
intercooler (ordering CTS-V one) & brackets for intercooler
intercooler pump and reservoir mounting bracket
coolant vent pipe

It looks like I already have the fuel regulator manifold (p/n 31-12-00-010).

Please let me know what other parts, hoses, electrical connectors, etc. I need. Part numbers, if you have them, would be awesome.

I don't want to get halfway through the install and find out I am missing something that needs to be ordered.

Thanks guys

ur best bet would be to download the installation manual off magnachargers website. Read that thing like 5 times front to back. It helps out ALOT to prepare you for what you might need in the event you bought the supercharger second hand.

You don't need the short oil filler neck. If you want to spend the money, do it, but I don't have it and the cap just screws down directly onto the valve cover.

Looks like you might also need the relay for the intercooler pump and some wire, electrical butt connectors and some heat shrink tubing.

Can't tell, but do you have the intake manifold gaskets?

yeah, I've been going through that pretty carefully, but a few things I couldn't tell if they were on the truck already or came from the kit.

Good to know, thanks.

You're right, I need to get the intake manifold gaskets. Are the stock ones from the dealership the best to use?
I picked up some wire, a fuse holder, and some wire shrink wrap at Radio Shack. I hope it does the trick

You say you already have the FPR block, you aren't refering to the one installed on the rail or you? That is the returnless block... Get some extra hoses and a splice or two just in case. And be sure to get the coolant crossover tube that mounts in front of the manifold. I made one that worked on my last truck because it wasn't in the used kit I bought, but having the right one will save some time.

So the one already mounted on the fuel rail in the picture isn't the right one?

Yeah, I plan on ordering the coolant crossover tube when I order the intercooler.

The one on the fuel rail only has one connection point, that is for returnless. If you have a return system, then you need the block that you mount the factory FPR into and also has 2 fuel line connections.

I used a heat exchanger from a TBSS, not sure how it compares to the CTS-V h/e, but it is pretty darn big, looks to be at least the size of the caddy h/e. I fabbed my own brackets to hang it mostly behind the grille, but some extends down behind the bumper. I can get some pics of how I did it if you like.

The plastic inlet is wrong.
