Since I am not real savy on this topic. I am gonna get Rikki to post his how up here. I am geting Ryan to set it up onmy car once I get the engine done. I have never learned it So I have to get him to show it to me. How many of you guys have done it before? What were your opinons about it? Too much lag or should have done it sooner?



The cheap version how to from our website

Well man, it really depends more on your driving style. Some people will absolutely hate it while others will be thoroughly pleased. The days of instant boost at 2500+ are gone so you're going to have to plan ahead with gear selection. If you're a lazy driver and you use a broad rpm range when you drive, it's probably not for you. It's very similar to driving a very peaky sportbike.

Rikki's version works if your not taking your motor out. If you are, it would be easiest just to run the vacuum hoses you need and get rid of all the other bs.



Got busy today, so I couldn't post pics...hopefully tomorrow before I'm "away"...



for mine, I didn't even run the check valve....plugged that line up and took out the charcoal canister...

Thats sounds like fun the way you describe it. I am constantly on the shifter . Heel to Toe and what not. So I think I am gonna like it.



Since my engine is out alredy Van. I am doing the real deal conversion. I will be removing all the BS that will no longer apply.
