Reversing the factory orientation, the alternator is mounted backward on the idler bracket/cross brace, and yet requires no wiring modifications whatsoever. Removal of the stock pulley, and reinstallation using Loctite is recommended due to the opposite rotation.

Shown next to the standard-issue 7-inch crank pulley, the new stock balancer comes with a milled face to assure it is perpendicular to the crank centerline. This was necessary as Ford's manufacturing process isn't accurate enough to mount the supercharger pulley without a visible wobble.

Be sure to enlist an extra set of hands when installing the supercharger. Initially use a nose-up attitude, as seen here, to clear EGR plumbing and vacuum lines. Don't slide the assembly on the gaskets, as sharp edges in the casting can easily cut them. Once in position, set it straight down. It's possible to reuse the sturdy original intake gaskets depending on mileage and condition.

Modest revisions are made to EGR and HVAC vacuum lines near the firewall. Also, only two simple wiring modifications are necessary for the entire kit-one to reposition the intake air-temp sensor so it samples after the supercharger, and the other to splice in power for the intercooler water pump.

During our install, Tork Tech used a Ford GT fuel pump (on right), but has since switched to the 255lph SVT Focus unit due to its straightforward bolt-in nature. This fuel supply is deemed adequate into the low-400 hp range, after which you'll need to consider something more elaborate.
