Brakes feel extremely hard after supercharger install
Flashed my car with the base Moto East tune. Had Sprintex 210 kit installed. I haven't been in the car for 7 days since it was out of service for the install (replacement parts took a while to come).
The first time I tried to step on the brakes, before I start the car, it was extremely firm and took a lot of pressure to depress the brake pedal. What the hell happened? Did I somehow get air in my brake lines or something? Car has not been driven for those 7 days! I also have ABS and TC light on. |

Is your supercharger feeding the brake booster pressurized air? Your bypass valve may not be working right. Check your manifold pressure when off the gas, it should be in vacuum.

Assuming all that came apart for the supercharger install the vacuum would have bled off. No vacuum in the booster = manual brakes. Start the car, are the brakes normal? Then it’s all good. You’ll need scanner for the lights. |

Another thread, same issues. Time to admit you brought it to the wrong shop and find a different shop to fix everything the first shop screwed up
