With the bosch one on it is easy to put your hand on it and stop the flow. Is this what you guys are seeing?

My spring is silver. I know you are making modifications but are you talking out the vent to atmosphere side or recirculating side?

I do know that to get it even close to right if you are going BOV route I added one washer and tightened it just in between hard and soft. My tuner still couldn't get it right. My a/f ratio would go crazy no matter what we did. So I ended up just leaving it full recirculating.

Your setup was pull through though and totally different. Your spring would be silver in material but it would have a touch of paint on top that is either pink, blue, or green.

Got ya. I figured it had something to do with the new setup y'all are doing. Whole new ballgame getting it set up right in that case.

I have a pink spring, It opens about a 1/4" at idle.

Even on the dyno it sounds really bad. i have mine rec. and under half load my car sounds like a helicopter. it flutters like crazy!

That sucks, are you keeping it on the car? I have the same one.

TopgunZ · 09-01-2015, 08:41 PM

Evo. I think you were saying it needs to be tighter but I think its looser and this could be solved with a lighter spring. I think that because ive had flutter with a few cars/kits in the past and a lighter spring always fixed it. But this was with turbo kits so maybe with this centri setup its different.

Anyway, ive ordered the other two spring sizes so we will find out soon.

Injector, plugs, plates, supercharger rebuilt and clocked are all done. We ran into a problem with shimming the impeller, it's stuck on and not spinning freely from to much shim we believe. I decided to let a turbo shop adjust it to make sure it's right. Friday the car is going to the shop that is welding the piping, supercharger brace to the block and custom crash bar. They are starting with the pipe out of the supercharger so we can remove it as soon as they are done to get it adjusted.

Cant wait to see everything finished. Are you going with a big pipe for both MAFs or 2 pipes?

Did you also upgrade your fuel pump when you swapped out injectors?

JWillis72 · 09-02-2015, 04:37 PM

I'm going to talk to them Friday but the plan right now is to Y it into two 3" pipes but I'm going to hear what they say. The shop doing it works on my Audi TT and build all kinds of crazy Euro turbo cars and some sexy R-8 exhaust so I have faith in their fab guy. They have a AWD TT thats 850whp thats all custom built by them so they know what they are doing.

Dang that sucks, I was really hoping this was the direction I would take to keep things simple from a reputable source. Sorry it will take so long for your outcome. Positive side is this venture has created lots of interest, starting other builds!

It's not as bad as you think. If Sasha can find a way to get more cross sectional area for the MAFs then that should be the only fix needed. The rest should just be tuning and if you aren't in the tundra know as Canada you still can get it tune and enjoy it before winter sets in.

TopgunZ · 09-03-2015, 08:28 PM

Just wasnt comfortable with my maf placement. Idled like **** but could be the base map tune. I modified my old 3" charge pipes from the bp kit and now they have a nice 6"s of straight pipe before them.
