I've used those Rubbermaid bins from Walmart for large stuff like that.

I just focused on the laminova cores and did a quick scrub on the manifold. I'd call it good where you're at.

I ended up soaking it in my bathtub with Dawn and scrubbing out what I could by hand. The rest I lightly power washed (in 33F degree weather 
) and that got about 80% of the gunk.
From there I started disassembly and reassembly. Got the stock manifold off and started with the alternator spacers and idler pully. Ran into a roadblock there because the lower bolt in ZZPs kit (all 3 alternator bolts actually) is allen keyed. I can't get an allen wrench in there, so I'll have to source the hext head equivalent tomorrow. I'll also need to figure out how to replumb the coolant line into the head when I'm done, but that shouldn't be too hard.

@Dsteinhorst or anyone else who has supercharged a 2.2L... I'm ready to install the intake manifold... but I'm a bit worried since I don't see any way to mount the bottom hole of the intake manifold to the block. Am I missing something? Feels like a bad idea to have all that weight on just the intake manifold studs

I found this bracket... which looks right.
Looks like it would fit here:
But the bolt that (almost, different thread than what I have, but roughly the right size. It starts to thread in) doesn't fit in the bracket hole. I can drill it out if needed... but I want to make sure I'm on the right track.
Also, the hole on the intake manifold is way smaller than this bracket I found. I assume there's a bushing that needs to fit in there?

If that bracket I found is indeed the right bracket, then I can probably drill it out to fit the bolt size required to mount it there

There should be a similar bolt, from the metric bolts, removed from the donor. This one doesn't need to be a graded bolt for the support bracket.

I'm planning to find one of those brackets and modifying to work. It's all bolted up now without it.

Almost done with the supercharger setup... Ran into some fun issues. I'm using the ZZP "bolt on" kit. There are some issues for the goblin. The main one being the ZZP kit expects the car to still have A/C. That was easy enough to solve. I still had my A/C pump... So I disassembled it and made it into a bolt-on idler pulley.
From there the ZZP idler pulley was too big. Just BARELY. I replaced that with one from Durolast (#231133) that's a hair smaller. Works great. Has just enough clearance.
All that's left now is intake and heat exchanger plumbing. All that is done, just needs assembly.

I've been ignoring this issue, and I think its time to address it: MAF/MAP/TMAP/whatever wiring.
The stock intake manifold has an ACDelco 12591290 MAP sensor (3 pin).
The supercharger had a (broken) GM 09359409 MAP sensor (3 pin).
The intake manifold came with a Bosch 0261230042 (T?)MAP sensor (4 pin).
Now... I'm fairly certain I have to use the Bosch sensor on the intake manifold. I've seen and heard others talk about having to jump the 4th wire, what I imagine is temperature over to something else - MAF?
@Karter2026 mentions it in a couple spots:
For the Bosch TMAP I couldn't find the pinout for the exact model I have, but I found something close:
So in theory, I just snip wire B off from the MAF and wire it to Pin 2 of my Bosch. Then I use a blockoff (or my GM MAP assuming it doesn't leak) to block off the port on the supercharger. This will also require sourcing a female pigtail for the Bosch TMAP to wire all this in.
Does that sound right? What do you guys think? Are there any other builds that are running a supercharged 2.2L that I can look at? I only know of @Karter2026 / @Wackstack and @Dsteinhorst .
Thoughts?
