Nice! I'm glad to hear that. Are they both in the same position at idle or are they offset? I'm assuming the former but was just curious.

Going to be the same position. The upstream Tb is 75mm vs the 65mm on the plenum.... may become an issue at higher rpm.... maybe. The TV cable I was going to use won't work... figures. Now I need to find a throttle cable to make work.

OK guys here it is.
View: https://youtu.be/alE0rXuDe5g






As of right now I am ordering a new throttle cable AGAIN! Sat was my b day and my wife drove me down too the local speed shop where we picked up my cable. Well in my hurried dumbassed-ness I didn't tie it up away from the exhaust...... nuthin like throwing 60$ out the window.

Nice vid man. The car sounds real nice (love that SC whine). I have to say that the piping (and the setup in general) looks really good. You mentioned it but the throttle bodies slamming shut when you completely let go of the throttle is just choking your engine and making your SC unhappy. I think the idea you talked about with adding more air behind the second throttle body would improve both your idle and maybe ease the ramp down in rpm. If not then you could try the mechanic stop to keep one TB a little more open. The bypass fully collapsing probably doesn't help. I thought I read that you had switched it completely to a hard pipe...I must have misread. Anyway, it sucks you need a new cable but it's nice to see it running.

As far as that sound system...I've never really been into them but I can appreciate a nice system that makes your nuts jiggle.

Happy late bday btw.

It was fully hard piped..... then I added a tb and then I had to redo the feed pipe. It will get done again so it looks better. The SC wind down is so hard it actually threw the belt, I have to check for any other damage as well. I guess I will have to create a alternate airflow path so that does not happen again.

Damn. I hope nothing else got damaged. I'm sure you know this but what is happening is that the closed throttle bodies drop the flow and back pressure the sc. The hard whine down occurs because it's really loaded up. The bypass should help with this but it probably isn't doing much because it's collapsed. If a hard piped bypass doesn't help, you might need to add a bov to just get rid of the excess pressure when you let off the throttle instead of recirculating it.

Btw, you were right a bunch of posts ago about the bypass. I'm finally up to speed on the system. The bypass doesn't help idle, but it should help with surge. If its not working, it's possible it's not sized correctly for your application and a bov would work better.

Just my .02.

I like the part where you ask people to excuse the rock concert you have in your back seat because you were 21, because now you're a much wiser 27.

Let's trade brains.

If I knew as much as you do at 27, and could actually do it..... I'm sure that I'd have some giant, diabolical mega complex, tucked away on some secret island. I'd have a brigade of minions wearing jump suits, helping me point my world domination laser cannon at the moon and MI-6, and IMF would be trying to stop me.

I'd say stuff like: Tonight we steal.......................The Moon!!!

Where are you in Fla. maybe I can personally attend the School of Steve.

But wait,...let's not be too hasty here. My brain has seen things that only come with age.
I was alive when they detonated Czar Bomba.
I was there when JFK was shot (the day after my 6th birthday)
When Buzz Aldrin took one small step.
When the first president resigned from office.
When American military craft were pushed off of an American aircraft carrier to make room for more fleeing refugees from a war we lost.
I put .37 a gal gas in a 65 mustang GT that was only 8 years old at the time.
I survived Disco.
The Knack
Cindy Lauper
Debarge
In sync
I've actually owned and driven real 428 CJ mach1's, 390 GTA Fairlanes, and GT 390 68 mustangs.

And you wanna pass on all of that? Are you stoned?

Who? lol

OP, you have a lot of patience to build that thing and sort it all out. I would have probably gotten frustrated and given up by now. BTW I also love the sound of those roots superchargers, just like the 03-04 Cobras I've always wanted.

I just like to build stuff. When I think I'm over my head I just step back and Google the shiz out of the situation. Once I understand how something should work it's just getting it done.
This is my first boost build, my second is in the shed it's a turbo 1.6

I hope to go on my first journey with boost later this year. I'll be going with a V3-Si kit though......little more "bolt-on" lol. Good luck
