Bypassing the Rotrex
 
My JRSC is sick, but I still need to get to work. Is there a way I can bypass it so it won't spin? I don't want to cause even more damage.

Thanks

Put stock belt on and not go around the SC?

Surely you’ll need to go back to the NA tune as well.

I looked it over & I think I can just remove the s/c, put the idler pulley back, and run off of the stock belt. If I don't touch anything else, I should be able to use the s/c tune. I mean, it'll just stay on the part of the map where there's no boost, right?

Yes if it makes no boost you still fine on the SC tune

Well, that was the most depressing Saturday ever.
Spent several hours making my car slower.
I was able to put some stock parts back & get it running while I send the blower back for a replacement.
I think it might be slower than stock now, since it has to suck air through all that tubing and the intercooler.

Remove rotrex assembly.

Replace stock pulley and belt

Replace stock intake

Flash stock rom.

Leave the intercooler and everything else in place, for minimum re-assembly/installation. Tape up/cover up all the hose/pipe openings so you don't get contamination.
