That should work on the exact same principle as a turbo, only w/o all the heat.Have no doubt I plan to see this SC build thru to the end. Today I pulled the SC off to replace the leaky long tubes and discovered this.that's a hole burned into the bypass tube.. it still made 3lbs of boost. I was scratching my head trying to figure out why I got an abrupt pressure drop from 6 to 3. This will require some re-engineering, hopefully I will have more clearance with the shorty headers.
Also I snagged some 1/8th inch plate steel from work and my 3" ss exhaust bends came in. With this I plan to make some adapters and eliminate all the rubber bends in my piping. The outcome will be one tb before the SC. Without an intake tract that will flatten out under vacuum.
On another sidetrack idea, a waste gate on the pressure side of the SC would be a cool idea. That way I can run my smallest pulley and regulate boost to whatever I want. The idea was to add 1psi at a time for tuning the boost ve tables. It's a pita to constantly change pulleys. Any thoughts??
Advice.... buy a desoldering gun you will thank me. Getting the 60pin to separate from the old ecu in one piece was well difficult. There were expletives involved. In the end I was victorious. I will pin it out later after I do some research. I would like to use the stock baro for real time correction, all I would need to do is pin it to the "baro" slot on my ms. Lol you would think that is easy but I need to be sure it will play nice first.
I also prefer solder braid to a desoldering tool.
Good advice, about 3 weeks late though. It's already built and in the car.You should not use a soldering gun of any kind on a PCB. A pen soldering iron is what is prescribed. A 60W iron with a small solder tip that has been filed and seasoned, make the task much much easier.
Yyyyup

Well considering I do everything only armed with knowledge from google, youtube, and insight from here. With little to no prior experience and teaching myself how to do everything along the way..... yours will probably turn out better. Lol. But hey, I'm getting there. my next car won't look so much like a hack job.
Got it figured out. The guy doing the tuning has no idea what he was doing........ and set stuff up wrong. So I fired me. Now I'm doing it myself.wait what....
Anywho she is running amazing, still tuning drove her around for 45mins today data logging.
Got the second tensioner in there and the wastegate, it works well although it is undersized (38mm) should have ordered a 45 or larger. Saw 5.6# of boost on the logger from my run today. That's my lowest boost setting, should see 11 full tilt but with belt slip maybe 9..
It is just rigged together right now while I get some issues worked out (wanted to make sure this setup worked before dishing out a lot of money) now I can move forward with confidence that this system will perform.
Pictures of my ghetto rigging soon no daylight left. Maybe even a video of the car running too.
