4. INTAKE MANIFOLD REMOVAL: Disconnect throttle cable from throttle body and remove cable from mount – secure cable away from work area. Disconnect the electrical harness from throttle position sensor, intake temperature sensor, air intake tube from air box, and brake booster hose from intake manifold. Now remove the two bolts (16mm socket head) securing intake manifold bracket to cylinder head and five (6mm) bolts securing upper intake manifold to lower intake manifold. Carefully separate upper intake manifold from lower intake manifold and remove upper intake manifold. Clean off any remaining gasket material. Immediately cover intake runner ports with masking tape. Remove air intake hose from throttle body, remove throttle body from intake manifold and set aside. Now is a good time to install the new hi-performance Denso Iridium spark plugs. Use compressed air to blow out any debris that may have accumulated in the spark plug well – WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES. Put anti-seize on threads and thread in by hand until seated. Now torque to 22ft. lbs.

5. DRIVER-SIDE REAR SUPERCHARGER SUPPORT BRACE INSTALLATION: We have assembled (mounting bracket, insulated rod end, jam nut) to its approximate length. Remove the two rear driver-side valve cover nuts (10mm hex) from area shown and lift ground strap off valve cover. Insert brace under bracket and install on valve cover studs with rod end leaning forward. Re-position ground strap bracket over brace and install nuts. Torque to 7ft. lbs.

6. INSTALL STUDS INTO LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD: Thread two supplied new M8 flange nuts onto one end of supplied M8 stud and tighten together as shown. Apply Loctite to lower portion of threads and install stud into threaded boss on far left side of intake manifold. Torque to 15ft. lbs. Remove flange nuts and repeat installation on far right side of intake manifold. Remove flange nuts – set aside.

7. ELECTRICAL HARNESS MODIFICATION: Disconnect each injector connector starting from left (1) to the right (4) and number them with a black felt tip marker. Strip the electrical tape back so that the wires for the throttle position sensor branch off between the second and third connector. Wrap exposed wires with electrical tape and reconnect each connector to the appropriate fuel injector.

8. PASSENGER SIDE REAR SUPERCHARGER SUPPORT BRACE INSTALLATION: Insert the supplied new 8M X 1.25 X 40mm bolt through the lower boss of the Support Brace – align with threaded boss on engine block and tighten by hand. Let brace swing back for now, and continue with installation instructions.

9. SUPERCHARGER INSTALLATION: First assemble the supplied new stainless steel/neoprene backed washers on the supplied new (1) M8 X 90mm and (2) M8 X 35mm intake manifold bolts. Ensure that the steel side of the washers are in contact with the heads of the bolts, and apply a small amount of NEUSPEED Special Grease to the neoprene side. Remove the tape covering lower intake manifold and install supplied new Viton gasket over studs – double check port alignment. Lower Supercharger into position by dropping the rear portion down behind the valve cover and rotate the front down to meet the intake manifold flange and over the studs. Carefully support backside of Supercharger until you have run ALL mounting bolts and flange nuts down and torqued to 60in. lbs. (5ft. lbs.) Now you must check to see if the Driver Side Rear Support Bracket is in alignment with threaded hole on Supercharger. Bolt MUST align perfectly with hole. If not, determine amount of adjustment (up or down) to properly position rod-end. You will need to remove Supercharger, make adjustment, re -torque bolts and try again. NOTE: Supercharger MUST be torqued to proper setting BEFORE checking/installing bolt! When you have a perfect fit, apply Loctite and torque Supercharger Rear Support bolt (M8 X 35mm) to 15ft. lbs, and tighten jam nut on rod end, if you made an adjustment. NOTE: This step is very important – you MUST take time to do it right!

10. INSTALL INTAKE TEMP SENSOR: Install the intake temp sensor into Supercharger housing and connect harness as shown. Torque to 7ft. lbs.

11. CONNECT PASSENGER SIDE REAR SUPERCHARGER SUPPORT AND HEAD STAY: Now check to see that rod end aligns with hole on boss on Supercharger (you can rotate this support on lower mounting bolt away from Supercharger to turn rod end) – make adjustment (in or out) for perfect alignment. Position Head Stay Bracket by inserting button end into the hole located in the lower right-hand corner of cylinder head. Insure that the slot on the bracket aligns with the threaded boss on the Supercharger. The Head Stay fits next to Supercharger, then the rod end. Push and hold Head Stay firmly against head as you as you torque bolt (M8 X 40mm) to 18ft. lbs. Now tighten jam nut, and torque lower support rod bolt to 18ft. lbs. With the Supercharger supports properly in place and tightened, remove one manifold mounting bolt and nut at a time (except the passenger side bolt). See BREATHER HOSE INSTALLATION #29 – apply Loctite #262 (supplied) to each bolt and nut and re-torque.

12. COMBI-VALVE ADAPTOR INSTALLATION: Disconnect air pump hose from the Combi-valve and remove black plastic fitting (2) #6 Torx. With large chamfer on adaptor facing up, install adaptor assembly on Combi-valve in sequence shown. Torque fasteners to 3 ft. lbs. and reconnect air pump hose. 13. THROTTLE BODY/CABLE INSTALLATION: Install throttle body on Supercharger using supplied new gasket and factory bolts. Torque bolts to 7ft. lbs. Connect electrical connector to throttle position sensor. Connect throttle cable end into actuator. Remove metal adjusting clip from throttle cable.

22. AIR TUBE INSTALLATION: Temporarily remove the passenger side fuel rail bolt, and the driver side air pump bracket bolt. Start at the throttle body using reducer (note band clamp lines for alignment) and clamps to attach short curved Air Tube. As you go, use short (2”) couplings, add the MAF (with connector facing passenger side, air flow arrow on MAF towards throttle body), the long Air Tube, and the bellows, which attaches to the new Air Box. NOTE: Do not stretch bellows. Air tube should only go into bellows about 1/8” past clamp line. Support brackets on long Air Tube align with holes in fuel rail and air pump bracket. Replace bolts and tighten.

23. AIR PUMP HOSE INSTALLATION: Connect air pump hose to aluminum fitting on air box and tighten factory hose clamp.

24. WIRING EXTENSIONS TO MAF AND 5/16” X 36” EVAP HOSE BUNDLE: Using the four-pin extension harness, connect female end to MAF. Route male connector under Supercharger manifold and connect to stock MAF connector. Connect 36” hose from EVAP canister purge valve to throttle body. Position shrink tubing half way over drive belt and heat shrink tubing around wire/hose bundle with an appropriate heat source. Secure all hose ends with hose clamps.

25. BREATHER HOSE INSTALLATION: The long Breather Hose connects from the engine breather to the tube on the inside curve of the Air Tube and is supported with the insulated clamp. Install the insulated clamp over the first Supercharger mounting bolt on the Passenger-side (see photo). Remove bolt, pass through clamp, add Loctite, and re -torque. Except at engine breather connection, add the one-inch clamp at end of hose. NOTE: The breather hose is a little longer than necessary. Carefully trim the 90-degree end so as not to crimp hose. Then route neatly and trim straight end to fit. 26. Re-install upper strut tie bar.

SUPERCHARGER FACTS: The NEUSPEED Supercharger has been designed for stock engines in good mechanical condition. Engine recalibration devices that modify fuel delivery and spark curve are NOT recommended, and may cause engine damage or failure! Volkswagen engines, along with our custom programmed P-Chip have sufficient fuel system capacity to deliver the additional fuel to match the additional air induced by the Supercharger. What about aftermarket parts – camshaft, adjustable pulley, exhaust system? Can they be used with my Supercharger? Yes. If you already have them on your engine, no problem. However, the camshaft should be a very mild grind like our 256-degree, and the cam gear should be set to ‘O’. If you do not have the NEUSPEED® hi-performance exhaust, it may be added at any time for additional power. Does a Supercharger cause engine ping? Your custom P-Chip has been programmed to provide sufficient fuel delivery and correct spark advance, so that you should not have engine ping. In addition, your engine has an anti-knock device to bring the spark advance back slightly so that does not happen. In any case, never allow your engine to ping any longer than it takes to initially hear the ping. What kind of fuel should I use? Only use PREMIUM FUEL! What kind of air filter does NEUSPEED recommend? For the best overall driving conditions with the Supercharger, we recommend the stock air filter. That is why we have included in our kit a new custom air box cover. This design also makes for a very easy installation and a clean factory-look. However, if you are so inclined, you may want to use your P-Flo if you already have one – a new bracket will need to be made (we are working on one at this time). A K&N stock replacement filter can also be used. If your stock air filter is dirty, replace it or clean your K&N at this time.

Does it matter if my transmission is manual or automatic? No. The NEUSPEED Supercharger will work properly regardless of transmission type. How much boost should the NEUSPEED Supercharger make? The NEUSPEED Supercharger comes with one pulley size only! It is designed to deliver approximately 5-7 psi of boost pressure. The pulley size affects the drive ratio between the Supercharger and the engine. Increasing the speed of the Supercharger relative to the engine will raise the boosted manifold pressure, but not the actual torque and horsepower of the engine. NEUSPEED has conducted hundreds of hours of dyno testing to find the best level of boost with available gasoline octane. In many cases, raising the boost level will actually decrease engine performance. Timing advance and available gasoline octane are critical elements. The pulley size, and boost level of the Supercharger has been designed to achieve the best combination of performance, efficiency and overall long-term reliability. Changing or altering the pulley WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE SUPERCHARGER. How to contact us: NEUSPEED® 3300 Corte Malpaso Camarillo, CA 93012 805.388.7171 805.388.0030 Fax [email protected]
