Questions and Discussion on Vortech Supercharging Systems

[Dezoris]

As far as the tube is concerned, I am sending my pulley and tube back to Vortech for engineers to look it. Could be the tube was out of spec, bad pulley etc.

Good thing is they are going to look into it and they are sending me replacement parts no drama.

So some might have the issue others will not but we all know about. Its one of those things to look at during install and post install.

But seriously, we love this supercharger kit.

This makes me want to start ripping things out of my engine bay.

***UPDATE***

We are bringing a local car in that is currently experiencing the idler issue to examine the situation firsthand on the car. This should give us a better idea of what might be the problem.

Also, you guys are going to have to do without me chiming in for a bit. I'm going to be in Myrtle Beach, SC for Mustang Week for the next 9 days. Definitely still feel free to message me, but I may not be able to answer until after I return on the 22nd. As a backup, my co-worker Frank @ Vortech can be pmed in my stead. He's got a lot on his plate though...so he probably won't be able to answer as fast I normally do.

I hope everyone can play nice until I get back. :happy0180:

We have been beating up on you a lot lately, I am sure I don't just speak for myself when I say we do appreciate you being active and helping out here with our issues and questions and being forthcoming about things.

Have a good trip should be fun getting out of the office seeing different scenery!

Tee it here then its a beatch to get it through the big wire harness into the cabin

totally did this and i am only reading vacuum on me boost gauge and when i floor it itll gat 0. to make sure i was boosting, i did a data log and it shows that I am boosting 10 at red. sooo any ideas on where else to tap in or maybe i did it wrong?

followed the brake booster hose which was t'd and the smaller hose goes to the bypass. i t'd off on that hose going to the bypass and i am where i am now.

Now that I look at mine. Start at the vortech provided tee , take that line directly to gauge. Then tee that to bpv or BoV whatever its called. What are your crankcase breather lines right with provided directional valve

i believe flow says arrow pointing up on the directional valve. hopefully that's the right way
