You can see the extra injectors on the back of the blower in this pic..

The 99-02 kits had them placed in the intake hat. Here's the 03+ intake hat... nice and clean.

Here's my cooling method...

What is typically is not realized is that even a 100% thermally efficient supercharger will benefit from an intercooler. The thermal (isentropic) efficiency is just a measure of how close the temperature gets to an ideal compression process.. i.e. its still going to heat up!!

You'd be surprised how hot a 100% efficient compression process makes the air!! and we all know that any supercharger/Turbo is not 100% thermally efficient.
