ok been installing the mongoose kit all day will be done tomorrow

i have a few questions no one every goes to the power adder room for some reason

the fuel pump was like a complete plug and play
no idea why they sent me a full pump with canister and wires and all the crap

i just pulled the pump out cut the side of the little top of the canister were the pump is in so that the new one would fit no cut or splicing like the directions from vortech said car started rigth up cool

got to hate when your send parts and dont get all the screws and washers
spark plugs/injectors peace of cake
a b*tch getting them dam hoses on and lined up maybe i was getting tired or some thing anyways

question is

the bypass valve when is that for is it like a blow off valve that vents back into the intake or what

and would i be able to use a blow off valve with my vortech set up or is that an only turbo thing

last thing why the hell does a boost gauge not come with a feaking 4000.00 kits
hehe

Yeah, bypass vents the air BACK into the intake. You can use a blow off, IF you get a "draw through" MAF meter which goes between the blower and TB, you would also need a retune.

Boost gauge doesn't come with a 4000 kit because how are they supposed to know what sorta gauge you would want?? lol Go pick one up on eBay for 40(mechanical)-150(digital).

Enjoy your kit, and stay out of boost till you get a pull on the dyno just in case! You should make between 350-370rwhp!

ok charger is completely installed but i still have about 3 or 4 bolt,washers, and claps left o well must have been extra stuff

the car started rigth up only problem i can see is the belt is one thread off on the super charger pulley
problem is how the hell do i get to the tensioner to loosen the belt with out pulling every thing apart

i did run out of fuel good thing it was right in front of my house because i was about to jump in the car a go to the gas station

i toke the car for a test drive drove it like i was on the was to church with 10 kids in the back seat
did not go pass 3k rpms just wanted to make sure i could get up to highway speeds since i will be going to work in the morning and i dont want any problems

so every one has said dont get into boost until i get it dyno
when they say boost do they mean pass like 4k or some thing like that or do they mean like pedal to the floor driving because i was under the impression that you are always under boost from like 3k up

in saying that that means i am getting 8psi of boost at say 5k rpms even if i am drive like a sunday driver or no

I just installed mine today too. It took us 7 hours minus an 1.5 hrs for lunch so not too bad.

We had a problem getting the blue tubbing over the 90 mm maf piece where it connects to the elbow. ( If that makes any sense.) I had to go to NAPA and buy a foot of tubbing for $35!!!
We loaded up the tune and took her out for a drive. I talked to Tim and he said it was all right to get on it since the tune is just about dead on, and would be rich if anything.
I just cant belive the power. I think i might be able to pull a few more ponies out of it by leaning it out some. I know final nubers Wendsday.

hehe i had the same problem with the maf being so large
but i forced it on still need a clap on it but its not coming off now if it was after the blower then i would not trust it with out a clamp
and thats good to hear that we can get on it a little
that dam tune must be nice it even cleared up my funny acting idle i had before the blower

you have any idea how to get access to the pulley tensioner now that the blowers blocking the dam hole
i need to get that belt over one rib its off by one on the blower

Click to expand...

you arent in boost constantly over 3500 rpm. you will start building boost at around 3500, but unless you are WOT the boost is being diverted into the bypass valve. so i guess the basic answer to your question is no, you are not in boost at, lets say, 4500 rpm at partial throttle.

we did the install at ford so we just jacked it up and got it from there. So you might want to crawl under the car and see if you can get it.

PS. Pics coming soon.

Best way to use the tensioner is from below, get a wodden dowel and push the tensioner up between the blower mounting bracket and timing cover. Works great!
