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.

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?

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

EVOHUNTER · 08-17-2012, 03:22 PM

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

well hes already in the kit for 10,000$, why wouldnt u go the next step?
ditching the kit is asking to lose 4 g's.
the supercharger/parts are still good quality, the design is VERY poor.

No, still not that much work, Just about every one upgrades and wants more, I made the advertised #'s not on their tune of course. Still wanting to do something someone else hasnt done it a little nice ,NO?

It's nice but it's also a risk you are taking. Everyone is sitting back and wishing you the best of luck on your build right now.

Your talking all the steps you just have to be careful the bigger intake is really going to help. Just make sure you get a IAT sensor so you can have a way of monitoring your temp.
