This is only partially true, it also keeps oil cleaber for longer, ultimately leading to longer engine life. It helps remove water vapor and other volatiles once the engine boils them out of the oil, and instead of merely relying on the blow by to push them out, it sucks them out, leaving...

Ahhh, okay. I cut one of my lines, and instantly regretted it.

How did you get that secure? Mine always feels loose, I need to smoke check. Where on the line did u mount it?

I know a couple guys that actually do AutoX. Not sure about the others.

Lots of complaints about Gen Z here. Being part of that generation, a lot of people are now into corner carving. They think that any sort of straight line speed is boring and for old men. Anyways, where we live, the only people that you can race are people in hoopty Dodges or Infinitis. Thought...

VMP is usually the middle man for blowers as far as I understand. The TVS blowers are made by eaton. Although, they do some smaller stuff R and D.

Hey man, have you thought about checking out a junkyard? I use Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market to find junkyard parts. There are tons of results near Texas, you just have to sort out the ones that'll need paint, are damaged, or are the wrong color.

Doubtful. Now they don't have to compete to be better than anybody. Its because Procharger hasn't been able to get the tuning "key" from Ford, like Whipple was. Not sure if its a cost thing, or Ford won't let anybody else.

Sad to see this... competition is the key to innovation.

I run a blow-through, so I have a blow-off valve, and I don't have stock vortech piping. Although, it looks like the bypass post-IC should go on the side of the intake piping, as shown in 10-F. The bypass pre-IC should go under the intake piping, by where the intake for the blower is.

Interesting. Then you’ll connect both of the bypasses. You can always call Vortech, they’re pretty helpful. I’m not sure which you’re supposed to connect to be honest. I can’t lie though, I don’t see where the two bypass valves will go. Anywhere I look, I don’t see another bypass included in the...

Just replied to your other post. For any people looking at this, wondering whether to buy an A/A kit or an A/W kit, the A/A is gonna be easier, although it requires more cutting than the A/W. There are plenty of good A/A intercoolers available, but there are not many good A/W intercoolers...

Just went over those instructions for you. As I understand, the passenger side catch can may or may not have a check valve in it. I know you don't want air blowing back through the catch can. If you have the check valve vortech provides with the kit, you should ensure it goes AFTER the catch...

I just went through this with my 2V. The IAC should be anywhere post MAF. Ideally, far away from the MAF as to not mess up readings. I have a blow through MAF and the IAC is about 8” away, near the throttle body, post blower. The red vacuum line from the throttle body can be left stock.
