Anybody with a vortech and a powerpipe....

Yes this should be in the power adder forum, but ill get a faster answer over here. The elbow for my powerpipe is running into the stock fuel lines as well as the regulator that is on the shrader valve. What do i have to do to get clearance?

Remove the gauge on the schrader valve and rotate the fitting to point it in a different direction. Pop the fuel lines out of the bracket at the head bolt, and CAREFULLY bend them backwards towards the header to get clearence.

You have a regulator or guage on the schraeder valve? Either way, you will have to move/adjust it. Also, you will have to unbolt the bracket from the head that holds the fuel lines in place. It's even more fun if you have A/C, but you won't have to worry about that.

Yea i just kinda pushed them out of the way and sqeezed the powerpipe in. I guess that will work. What did you guys do for the MAF wires, lengthen them?

I lengthed them BUT DO NOT cut the wires within 6 inches of the sensor plug. Cut it around the strut tower if you can and then run it into the fenderwell. They (Old Pro-M site) say if you do it will cause all sorts of meter reading errors.

soilder all connections and use the same gauge wire...

I cut mine within a few inches and it runs like a bat out of hell. Guess I failed to see the warning.

Same here..

I had problems with my schrader valve being pressed into my powerpipe and it still is currently. I would get a tubing bender and do it with that instead of bending with your hand.

It's even more fun if you have A/C, but you won't have to worry about that.

Take a look at mine.. Also notice the 1/8" gap between the a/c piping and my supercharger pulley (thank god I switched to a 2.87" .. )
