not sure what i want to do yet, going to a new tuner hills garage and see what they say. last i talked to them they had ideas about moding the pipe from the blower to the intake and moving the mafs there they said the cpu could read whats going on with the car better then mafs before the blower

since i have shelled out so much money on this car 9k for supercharger and install and 8.5k for the built motor i dont think i will be goin gtm or sts right now less i can get a good deal on selling the stillen kit

also i am not to happy with how hot the intake manifod is getting with the intercooler inside there, i cant see how the intake air is getting cooled be nice to have an ait sensor put in after the intercooler to see how hot that air is
more boost is just going to make it worse and the cpu will start to pull timing = less power

You will be in good hands @ Hills Garage I have heard nothing but good review's from Frank.

The kit does run hot and there is no way to know your IAT's unless you put a sensor like you had just mentioned after the intercooler. This is the reason I sold my kit and didn't use it on my built motor.

I agree will the maybe moving the MAFs( But we'll see- working on some things), Also I'm hope th Fron mount heat exhanger I bought will solve the heat issue.

I am going to wrap my intake pipe and then upgrade to the heat exchanger as well. I think the really good answer is to have some type of vented hood that can pull the hot air away from the engine. I have an extra hood that I am going to start cutting on to see what can be done to help correct that. Heat is the nature of the beast and trying to find a way to dissipate that heat is going to be the real answer to being supercharged or even turbo'd. Another quick fix is to add the redline waterweter to the stillen reservoir. this is shown to reduce temperature in the radiator so every little helps.

I was thinking off wrapping mine, Also, I did see the threads about added the Redline waterweter to the fluid also, Things I will address when I get it together, The vent hood will help a TON !1 My hood was helping the cause big time.

The intake deal feel apart, They actual cost me $170 cause I to buy another one from Stillen, Man they really screwed me up bad.. :(

? explain? did they destroy it?

I actually can not say, I have been told nothing, Just excuse after excuse, I went and bought another on fear they either ruined mine or just did not do it and I can not depend on them sending it back by Tuesday. Trust me I'm fighting with myself to make or not make a thread on what happend.

Thats sucks man, let the company try to make it right before doing that.
but what i did: found a welding/fab/machine shop ( good rep)
showed them what i want, they ditched the oem stillen pipe.
took 1&1/2 long pieces and tacked them together, i stoped by last night and it fit like a glove. the only thing the shop is kinda stumped on is the y bend where the single pipe comes out of the supercharger and convert into 2, do the pipes have to be the same length? should it be a perfect y shape?
or have the main pipe and have one branch off? will this affect air flow to the bank 1 throttle body?
and also how close should i have the MAFS to the throttle body, stock position?

So you did this, How is it??? Throttle better, Spool better, Talk to me, I just open the can about my issue cause they still havent called and feed up with chasing them.. Now I have to move on to someone else, Maybe you can PM the shop that did yours and they can do mine? :tup:

You guys will have to datalog each banks MAF voltage and they shouldn't be too far from one another.

Also If this works you guys should change out that diverter valve to a better one that can hold higher pressure than that Bosch

will the piping length affect my MAF's voltage? and yah i picked up 2 of them, 2 pipes 2 diverter? id assume, because where the old one was, there is now 2 pipes. im still trying to figure out where to put the MAF's. well im not but the shop wants to know where to weld on the square bung for the MAF's

I upgraded mine now also. Turbosmart BPV. I think its in my first post

the shop also said they could weld up a Y in 3/4 inch pipe and attach to the bottom of the main pipes and run only one diverter. 2 might be over kill? and there not cheap lol

Seems like a lot of work to get power out of the stillen kit
Are u still wondering why I returned it.?.
