The supercharger in/out compressor housing itself can be rotated. There are multiple bolts around the outside of the housing which are loosened and the housing itself is rotated and the bolts are re-tightened.
The SC still mounts just as usual.
What this does is change the outflow position.

The ESS is setup with the outflow on the bottom.
I am saying loosen it and rotate it so that the outflow is on the top pointing backwards. This won't work/do anything on the ESS kit but would just have the outflow on the top which could then be plumbed into a custom intake manifold with a built in intercooler.

Here is a picture of what I mean-SC outlet on top.

AHH Gotcha...
Sorry! Didn't read it thoroughly
So if you were able to do this, you'd be able to venture the possibility of an intercooled manifold?!
You're a wizard Har.. Marty
