Installing Imagine Automotive Super Charger on my 1998 2.5 Boxster

Thank you both for the clarification. That helps a lot.

Today I got under the car to start the install of the bracket that mounts on the can cover. Easily removed the header to make room to work.

On inspection of the cover, there are two areas (orange arrows) blocking the bracket. In the image from iA, the cover does not have these.

Seems the only way to get the bracket to fit would be to cut these off the cam cover.

1. What are these used for?
2. Any problem with cutting them off?

Turns out I was able to grind off some metal from the bracket and it fit perfect.

Got the aluminum bracket installed on the cam cover after grinding some of the metal off of the bracket where there was some interference from the cover.

Now on to the next step

SO, the Ai instructions say to install the cam cover bracket first, then the SC bracket gets attached
to it once in the car. I have to say, that is not the best way. In order to get a really good snug fit of
the SC bracket to the cam cover bracket, it is best to attach them first. Then, as a unit attach them
to the 8 cam cover bolts and the 1 bolt in the front of the engine.

So, I took out the cam cover bracket and did it this way.





This is from inside the car. You can see where the one allen bolt is attahced with
the spacer behind it.
