I'm not boosting yet, I don't like how the blowoff valve pipe is fitting. I've decided to revert back to a bypass valve. I've read a number of stories where the head unit seals get killed because blowoff's aren't open at idle, and the procharger blows a helluva lot of air even at idle. For the record, bypass valves (the stock one that comes with prochargers is a bosch valve) remain open at idle and close once you press the gas pedal.
Steeda's going to fab up a pipe for the bypass this weekend and I might be going for a tune next week if I'm satisfied with how the charge piping all fits together after the bypass is in place.
I did get the 101.5 belt and no more squealing so that problems sorted out.
One other odd thing, in the first pic in the post above you can see the outlet of the procharger is pointed slightly down to the ground. Well, after some searching at FF I saw that every other procharger install had the outlet horizontal. I called ATI and the tech told me you can undo the hex screws and literally rotate the two halves until you find the spot where you want it. So, it took all of 5 minutes to fix that problem too.
I'll get a shot up of the car all back together soon, with all the rain, it hasn't been great photo weather...
And, um yea, I LOVE the whine! :D
