I don't have a digital camera, so I'll try to describe it.
First, mark and drill the holes for the aluminum bracket for the plastic pipe that connects to the MAF. This installs square on the driver's side frame rail. Then, install the plastic pipe and the aluminum bracket with the four supplied screws. There are two small ridges on the pipe that will indicate where it goes in the bracket. For reference, the MAF end should angle slightly towards the front of the car.
Then, install the elbow on the supercharger and point it almost straight down. You'll have to angle it slightly to get the best clearance.
Install the sway bar.
Install the dryer ducting. It should run from the supercharger 90, under the sway bar (closer to the ground), then connect to the MAF plastic tube.
Hope this helps.

You have to cut the intake elbow down, I cut the plastic tube a little bit and about an inch and a half off the intake elbow to make it fit. I will get pics tomorow when I can.

As 96WS6 said you have to cut down the elbow to fit the MAF on the pressure side. If you have the Vortech cooler then you have to go a bit further. Take a look at my site. It has a number of shots of the intake tubing I made from the blower to the intercooler and to the inlet.
