Throttle body gasket is perfect. Brake booster hose was correctly installed with the cap. IAT sensor is new and isn't damaged. I pulled the black injectors and have the blues on the fuel rail. The only question now is wether or not to pull the supercharger and intercooler. It looks really simple. I see an electrical plug in the back, the air injection hose, 2 air injectors, coolant hoses, belt, clutch plug, 6 bolts and up and out she comes.

I'll check the hose under the battery. I fixed it 2 years ago with a section of rubber hose, darned mice got to it.
If you have an engine hoist, it's a cake walk as you can use it to lift the supercharger up and off the block, leaving your hands free to move hoses, wires, etc.. If you don't have one, it's still easy, just more work due to holding it in an awkward position over the bumper and fenders but regardless, what are you waiting for? You're that far in, you have to do it!
