starting my diy intercooler install

[SaleenGT2001]

the novi is a 3" outlet just get a 2.75 to 3 adapter if you have a vortech. all the piping is the same otherwise.
on a side note
Tim from MPH saw my setup and said that the BPV is backwashing air backwards thru thr MAF and out the air filter. this would explain my strange idle after WOT. i will have to buy a boost pipe and relocate my BPV to vent closer to the blower.

 

[SaleenGT2001]

just another reason that MPH is the best shop out there. Tim is the man!!

for a BPV, an HKS SSQV style would be good - the boost actually holds the vavle closed so it wont leak.

Hey saleen, what if you angled the bypass pipe towards the inlet of the blower? That should do it...its the air hitting the back wall and going BOTH directions (towards and away from the MAF) that are screwing up the reading.

Something along these lines

 

[Saleen4971]

i dont know anything about backwashing the MAF, i just meant to eliminate any boost leaks people may be having.

my last vehicle was speed density, so i was plannign on using an atmosphere BOV, so dealign wtih MAF's is new to me

 

[SaleenGT2001]

well since i cut into the stock plastic pipe it is impossible to make it work and look right again. so the boost pipe is the easiest fix, and it will add some power along with the 2nd new pulley in the past 2 weeks. i plan on angleing it towards the blower this time. oh well just another $400 into the money pit!!

 

[SaleenGT2001]

i think the mini race is one of the best BPV's for our cars. i dont think it will leak under boost. if i could vent to the atmosphere i would get the SSQV

 

[hotmustang331]

What pulley you getting? Yea one more try

 

[SaleenGT2001]

going with a 3.2 pulley this time. i'm still trying to decide on getting a paxton or another RR pulley.

i knwo with teh immitation ebay SSQV's they come with a recirc adapter. im sure the regualr SSQV would have the same?
