superchargers

I've been looking at the 4a-gze supercharger for my gem and I am just wondering, where do you mount it and all that stuff? It also says that the clutch on this particular supercharger is operated by the ECU but i don't have any computers or anything in my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mat

You would need to fabricate, or pay someone else to, all the brackets and intake stuff, as for the switch i'd say you'll find that the ecu would switch a relay, which in turn would switch on the clutch in the supercharger, i've heard of just an in cabin switch being used before, unsure whether that would operate a relay or directly operate it but, find someone whos done similar...

The supercarger has a Air-con Electric Clutch... which you CAN hook upto a switch...As soneone else youll have to make brackets.

what i dont understand is how the air passes thru the charger when u switch it off. the only way i can think of is that it freeballs itself.........???????
