This manual provides information on the installation, maintenance and service of
the Vortech supercharger kit expressly designed for this vehicle. All information,
illustrations and specifications contained herein are based on the latest product
information available at the time of this publication. Changes to the manual may be
made at any time without notice. Contact Vortech Engineering for any additional
information regarding this kit and any of these modifications at (805) 247-0226
8:00am-4:30pm PST.
Take note of the following before proceeding:
1.Proper installation of this supercharger kit requires general
automotive mechanic knowledge and experience. Please browse
through each step of this instruction manual prior to beginning the
installation to determine if you should refer the job to a professional
installer/technician. Please contact your dealer or Vortech Engineering for
possible installers in your area.
2. This product was designed for use on stock (un-modified, OEM) vehi-
cles. The PCM (computer), engine, transmission, drive axle ratios and
tire O.D. must be stock. If the vehicle or engine has been modified in any
way, check with Vortech prior to installation and use of this product.
3.Use only premium grade fuel with a minimum of 91 octane (R+M/2).
4.Always listen for any sign of detonatlion (knocking/pinging) and discontinue
hard use (no boost) until the problem is resolved.
5.Vortech is not responsible for any clutch, transmission, drive-line or engine
Included in this kit is a smaller than originally supplied supercharger pulley. This new pulley is
recommended to achieve the best performance results. Removal of the factory sealed pulley
will reduce the supercharger warranty from three years to one year unless the supercharger
unit (with the original pulley still attached) and new pulley are sent into Vortech for removal,
installation and re-sealing. If the supercharger warranty is not a concern or if the supercharger warranty has expired, the pulley may simply be removed and replaced with the new part
supplied. Hammering/prying etc. on the supercharger and/or pulley will cause damage to the
parts. Light heating of the supercharger pulley with a propane torch (if the pulley is tight on
the shaft) will aid removal. A return authorization number is required before the supercharger
and pulley are sent into Vortech. Call the Vortech service department at (805) 247-0226 for a
return authorization number. Return freight (ground) will be paid by Vortech.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
This kit should only be installed by qualified mechanics. It is imperative that the correct air/
fuel mixture be maintained at all times. This Kit is to be supplied to competent engine tuners
for their completion by the addition of custom tuning. The installation of this system without
custom tuning to compensate for boost pressure will cause engine damage.
This product is intended for use on healthy, well maintained engines. Installation on a wornout or damaged engine is not recommended and may result in failure of the engine.
Vortech is not responsible for engine damage. Installation on new engines will not harm or
adversely affect the break-in period so long as factory break-in procedures are followed.
For best performance and continued durability, please take
note of the following key points:
1. Use only premium grade fuel 91 octane or higher (R+M/2).
2. The engine must have stock or lower than stock compression ratio.
3. If the engine has been modified in any way, check with Paxton prior to using this
product.
4. Always listen for any sign of detonation (pinging) and discontinue hard use (no
boost) until problem is resolved.
5. Perform an oil and filter change upon completion of this installation and prior to
operating the vehicle. Thereafter, always use a high grade “SF” rated engine oil or a
high quality synthetic, and change the oil and filter every 3000 miles.
This product may not be legal for use on public roads in all 50 states.
please read through this entire instruction booklet
This Vortech Air/Air Charge Cooler system was designed as a street/strip oriented
charge cooler, specifically for use on 2005-2009 Ford 4.6 Mustang vehicles equipped
with a Vortech supercharger.
As with any power enhancing product, this system is intended for use on healthy, wellmaintained engines. Vortech is not responsible for engine damage. Installation on new
vehicles will not harm or adversely affect the break-in period so long as factory break-in
procedures are followed.

A. Disconnect the battery.
B. Remove the six nylon clips retaining the
upper radiator core support cover. (See
Fig. 1-a.)
C. Loosen the four hose clamps securing the
supercharger discharge tube from the
supercharger to the throttle body.
Disconnect the by-pass valve hoses
where they connect to the inlet and discharge tubes. Disconnect the by-pass
valve vacuum line where it connects at
the fuel rail. Set the by-pass valve aside
to be reinstalled in a later step. Remove
the discharge tube and set it aside. It will
not be reused.
D. Unplug the MAF connection from the
meter. Loosen the hose clamps securing
the inlet ducts to the supercharger and
inlet duct support bracket. Remove the
inlet duct assembly and set it aside to be
reinstalled in a later step
E. Disconnect the oil feed and oil drain lines.
NOTE: Temporarily cap the oil lines to protect
your engine from foreign particles.
F. Using a 1/2" ratchet wrench loosen the
accessory belt tensioner and remove the
belt from the supercharger pulley only. Tie
the belt back away from the supercharger
temporarily.
screws and retaining plates that hold the
compressor housing to the gearcase.
C. Carefully rotate the supercharger volute
to the specified location as shown. (See
Fig. 2-a.)
NOTE: If the compressor housing does not rotate freely
relative to the gearcase, DO NOT FORCE IT.
SERIOUS SUPERCHARGER DAMAGE MAY
OCCUR. The machined mating surfaces are
designed to prevent pressurized air from escaping
and have minimal tolerances. If the housing will
not move or is very tight, contact Vortech immediately at (805) 247-0226 and ask for our service
department for further assistance.
D. Evenly retighten the six (6) cap screws,
torque to 60 in/lbs (5ft/lbs).
E. Remove original 3.80" supercharger pul-
ley from the supercharger and install the
supplied 3.48" pulley.
NOTE: Included in this kit is a smaller than originally sup-
plied supercharger pulley. This new pulley is recommended to achieve best performance results.
Removal of the factory sealed pulley will reduce
the supercharger warranty from three years to one
year unless the supercharger unit (with the original
pulley still attached) and new pulley are sent into
Vortech for removal, installation and re-sealing. If
supercharger warranty is not a concern or if the
supercharger warranty has expired, the pulley may
simply be removed and replaced with the new part
supplied. Hammering/prying etc. on the supercharger and/or pulley will cause damage to the
parts. Light heating of the supercharger pulley with
a propane torch (if the pulley is tight on the shaft)
will aid removal. A return authorization number is
required before the supercharger and pulley are
sent into Vortech. Call the Vortech service department at (805) 247-0226 for return authorization
number. Return freight (ground) will be paid by
Vortech.
2. SUPERCHARGER RECLOCKING AND REINSTALLATION, cont’d

route in a smooth downward manner
away from moving or hot objects.
NOTE: Any dips, “uphill” sections, kinks or restric-
tions may cause drainage problems and
possible supercharger failure.
J. Attach the -4 oil feed hose to the straight
-4 fitting installed in the supercharger.
Secure away from moving or hot objects.

5. FINAL CHECK
NOTE: Do not attempt to operate the vehicle until ALL
components are installed and ALL operations are
completed including the final check.
A. Check all fittings, hose and clamps for
tightness and leaks. Make sure all wires
and lines are properly secure with clamps
or tie-wraps.
B. Make sure all wires and hoses are routed
away from hot, moving or sharp objects.
C. Custom Tuning: This kit requires custom
ECM calibration before the vehicle is to be
driven at any throttle opening greater than
50%. Calibration by a competent tuner
with a wide band 02 sensor and timing
monitoring equipment is required.
D. Test drive the vehicle.
E. Always listen carefully for engine detona-
